The friendlier business card

Tap. Ping. Say hello.

WelcomePing is a digital business card. Tap an NFC card or scan a QR code, and someone's details pop up on your phone. No app. No sign-up. No fuss.

Tip: click the phone to watch it again.

The card in your hand

Cards worth keeping

Each card has an NFC chip inside and a QR code on the back, so it works with every phone. Hover over a card, or tap it, to flip it over.

Design tips

Six rules for a card people keep

WelcomePing cards are the standard 85.6 × 54 mm, the same size as a bank card. Here's how to make yours look great and tap every time.

01

Keep the front simple

A logo and maybe one short line. The card does the talking once it's tapped.

02

Always add a QR code

Not every phone reads NFC. Make the QR at least 18 mm wide, dark on a light background, with clear space around it.

03

Mark the tap spot

A small NFC symbol tells people what to do. Metal cards and large foil areas can weaken the tap, so ask us first.

04

Print less, link more

Printed details can't change, but the digital card can. A name and job title are plenty.

05

Mind the edges

Keep text and logos 4 mm inside the edge, and extend backgrounds 3 mm past it so nothing gets trimmed.

06

Send sharp artwork

A vector logo (SVG, PDF or AI) or a PNG at least 1000 px wide. Keep text at 6 pt or larger.

Who it's for

Why you'll like it

Small card, big difference

No app needed

It opens in the browser your phone already has.

Always up to date

Got a new job title? The same card shows the new one. Nobody reprints anything.

Works on any phone

Tap it on phones with NFC. Scan the QR code on everything else.

Private by design

No ads and no trackers on cards. Cards stay out of search engines.

Questions

Quick answers

Do I need to download an app?
No. A WelcomePing card is a small web page. It opens in your phone's normal browser.
Does my phone need NFC?
Most modern phones have it. If yours doesn't, or you'd rather not tap, point your camera at the QR code instead. You'll get to the same card.
What's the difference between tapping and scanning?
Nothing. Tapping reads a tiny chip in the card, and scanning reads the QR code. Both open the same page.
I got a new job title. How do I change my card?
Tell your company, or your account manager if you're a CompanyStore.IO customer. We update the card and your link stays the same, so the card in your pocket keeps working.
Is it safe? Can anyone find my card?
Your card has its own link, and we ask search engines not to list it. Only people you share it with (or who tap your card) will see it. Please read our Privacy Policy for the details.
Does it cost anything to open a card?
No. Opening and saving a card is free for the person receiving it.
