To add your digital business card to a wallet app on your device, follow these general steps:

• Ensure that your digital business card is created and saved within your Digital Business Card (DBC) platform or app.
• Open the wallet app on your device. Wallet apps are commonly pre-installed on devices, such as Apple Wallet on iOS or Google Pay on Android, but you may also have other wallet app options available.
• Look for an option within the wallet app to add a new card or pass. The specific location and wording may vary depending on the app you are using.
• Choose the method to add a new card. Wallet apps typically offer various options, such as scanning a QR code, entering card details manually, or importing from an existing file.
• Select the option to scan a QR code if available. If your DBC platform provides a QR code for your digital business card, use the scanning function within the wallet app to scan the QR code and automatically add the card to your wallet.
• If scanning a QR code is not an option, you may need to manually enter the card details. In this case, copy the information from your digital business card, such as your name, contact information, and any additional details, and enter them into the wallet app fields accordingly.
• Follow any additional prompts or instructions provided by the wallet app to complete the process.

Once added, your digital business card will be accessible within the wallet app on your device. You can easily access and share it when needed, just like any other card or pass stored in your wallet app.

To share your digital business card, follow these general steps:

• Choose the sharing method that best suits your needs. Here are a few common ways to share your digital business card: Share via Email, Share via QR Code, Share via Social Media, Share via Messaging Apps, Share in-person
• Repeat the sharing process for each person or platform you wish to share your digital business card with.

Remember to keep your digital business card up to date and easily accessible in your DBC app or platform. This way, you can quickly share it whenever needed, ensuring that your contacts have the most current information about you and your business.
