Digital Business Card: the complete India guide
12 minute read Updated September 2026 By the DigitalCarda team
Quick answer
A digital business card is a web link and QR code that replaces printed visiting cards. In India it costs ₹999 a year (₹99/month) after a 30-day free trial, a printed NFC card is ₹499 with free delivery, and the card carries WhatsApp, UPI payments, your services and an enquiry form. Most people publish theirs in about two minutes.
What is a digital business card?
A digital business card — also called a digital visiting card or smart business card — is a web page carrying your contact details, services, payment options and social links in one place. You share it as a link or a QR code, and whoever receives it opens it straight away in any browser. Nothing is printed, and no app or account is needed on either side.
The card lives on a permanent address you own, so you can redesign it, change your number or move offices and every share you have ever made keeps working.
In one line
One link. Call, WhatsApp, directions, services, payments and your details — saved in a tap.
Why Indian professionals are moving off paper
Customers find you on WhatsApp, pay you by UPI and check your Google reviews before they visit. A paper card can do none of that.

NFC or QR — what's the difference?
Both open exactly the same card. The difference is only in how it opens.

NFC card
A printed PVC card with a chip inside. Tap it on a phone and your card opens — with a QR on the back for phones without NFC.
