Apple Wallet business card

Create an Apple Wallet Business Card on iPhone

Publish your Cardora card, add the pass to Apple Wallet, and open it when someone asks for your details. Its QR sends the recipient to your public profile or a direct vCard download.

Share flow

Your iPhone pass handles the first ten seconds of the handoff.

Prepare the pass

Set the card details, pass colors, logo, profile photo, and QR destination.

Add it to Apple Wallet

Keep the pass beside tickets and cards so it is fast to open during a conversation.

Let the QR finish the handoff

Recipients open your profile, save a vCard, or exchange contact details without installing Cardora.

Apple Wallet setup

Add your business card pass to Apple Wallet

Cardora generates a signed Wallet pass from your published card. The pass stays with you; the person you meet scans its QR to open the contact experience you selected.

Before you start

  • A published Cardora card with the contact fields you want to present.
  • An iPhone or iPad for the direct Wallet flow, or access to the Apple pass email fallback.
  • A QR destination set to your public profile or direct vCard download.
  1. 01

    Create and publish the source card

    Add your name, role, contact fields, links, photo, and styling. Publish the card before generating the Wallet pass.

  2. 02

    Open the Apple Wallet option

    Open the card's Wallet area and choose Apple Wallet. If you are working from another device, use Cardora's email option to open the attached pass on your iPhone or iPad.

  3. 03

    Review and add the pass

    Apple shows the pass before installation. Review it, add it to Wallet, and open it once to confirm the visible fields and QR destination.

  4. 04

    Present the QR to the recipient

    Open the pass during a meeting and let the other person scan. They can view your profile or save the vCard without installing Cardora.

Troubleshooting

Common questions during setup

The pass still shows old details

Publish the edited Cardora card first, then regenerate or re-add the Apple Wallet pass so the pass face carries the latest published fields.

The pass downloaded on the wrong device

Use the Apple pass email fallback and open the attachment on your iPhone or iPad, then add it from the Wallet preview.

The QR opens the wrong destination

Check whether the card is set to Public profile or Direct vCard, publish the change, and generate the Apple pass again.

A recipient does not use an iPhone

That is fine. Apple Wallet is only where the owner keeps the pass; recipients use their camera to scan the QR and open a web profile or vCard.

Why Cardora

Designed for the in-person iPhone handoff.

An iPhone pass built for the handoff

Put a polished card in Apple Wallet with your logo, photo, contact fields, and a QR that opens the right destination.

Your Cardora pass

Apple Wallet

In Apple Wallet

Keep your card beside the passes you already use, ready to open when someone asks.

One tap to present

Open the pass and turn the screen around — the person across from you just scans.

The QR finishes the handoff

They land on your profile or a vCard download without installing anything.

01

Apple Wallet is the owner's shortcut

The pass gives the card owner a quick place to open and present their QR. It is not a pass that every recipient must install.

02

Profile updates and pass updates are different

Published profile, link, and vCard content can change at the live destination. To change details printed on the Apple pass face, regenerate or re-add the pass.

03

Email provides a second installation route

If you create the card away from your iPhone, Cardora can email the signed pass as an attachment so you can open it on an iPhone or iPad.

FAQ

Answers before you start.

Still unsure? Reach out to support.

Is an Apple Wallet business card available on the Free plan?

Yes. The Free plan supports Apple Wallet pass generation for one Cardora-branded card, with no credit card required.

Does the pass update automatically after I edit my card?

The live profile and vCard use your latest published content. Regenerate or re-add the Apple Wallet pass when you want the pass face itself to carry updated fields.

What can the Apple Wallet QR code point to?

The QR can point to the public profile or a direct vCard download, depending on the card's QR destination setting.

Can I email the pass to myself?

Yes. Cardora includes an Apple Wallet email fallback for opening the pass from an iPhone or iPad.

Does the person scanning need an iPhone?

No. Apple Wallet is used by the card owner. A recipient can scan the QR with another phone and open the public profile or vCard in a browser.

Does Cardora confirm the pass was installed?

Cardora can record successful pass generation, but final installation is completed in Apple Wallet and is not proven by the generation event alone.
