Paper business cards get lost. A vCard QR code on the back means anyone can scan it and have your name, role, email, phone, and website saved straight to their contacts — no typing, no mistakes, no "oh I left your card at the hotel".
Zen QR's vCard form covers first name, last name, organization, job title, email, phone, and website. That's enough for ~95% of business contexts. The encoded format is vCard 3.0 — universally supported by iOS, Android, Outlook, Gmail, and every modern contact app.
Print it on the back of a paper business card, embed it in your email signature, add it to your LinkedIn banner, stick it on conference badges. Anywhere you'd say "here's my info" — point at the QR instead.
Use a single phone number (the most important one) — multiple numbers in a vCard sometimes confuse older Android contacts apps. Use the full international format (+33 6 12 34 56 78) so it works abroad. Put your real first and last name in the right fields, not as a single "display name".
A vCard QR contains the contact info in plain text. Anyone who scans the code reads everything. Don't put info you wouldn't write on a paper card. For sensitive contexts, generate a different QR with only a name + work email and let the relationship deepen from there.
First name, last name, organization, job title — these are the fields that always populate cleanly across iOS, Android, Outlook, and Gmail.

Your work email if this card is for business contexts. Don't bury "reply directly" by giving a generic info@ address — direct contact wins.
Optional but high-value. Your personal site, LinkedIn, or a portfolio link gives the contact somewhere to dig for context.
