STEP 4: Share your profile with others

Now that your card looks great, it’s time to start sharing. Generate a QR code for easy scanning, embed it in your email signature, or send it through messaging apps like WhatsApp. Sharing is limitless, so you can share it as many times as you like.

Wave offer many digital business card sharing options:

QR Code: Generate a QR code for easy scanning and instant information sharing.

• Messaging Apps: Share your card directly through platforms like WhatsApp.

The QR code feature is truly a standout. Instead of searching for a paper card, you simply present your phone, allow them to scan, and instantly share your information.
