## What people see when they scan

The phone opens your business card, a mobile page hosted by GetQR. It shows your photo, logo, name and the details you added. People can:

* Tap **Add contact** to save you to their phone's contacts.
* Tap a phone number, email, website or address to call, write, visit or get directions.
* Tap a social icon under **Find me on** to open your profile.
* Tap **Share** to send your card to someone else.

Because the code points to a page, you can update your details after printing and everyone sees the new version. Every scan is counted in your statistics.

## Use cases

* Print it on business cards, name badges and email signatures.
* Put it on your booth at trade shows and conferences.
* Add it to real estate signs, flyers and brochures.
* Share a team directory with one card per person.

## Common issues

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="First name is required / Last name is required">
    **Name** and **Last name** are the only required fields. Fill in both to continue.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Maximum 40 characters allowed">
    Most text fields accept up to 40 characters. Shorten the value, for example by using an abbreviation for a long company name.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Please enter a valid link, username, or contact info">
    A social field doesn't look like a valid profile. Paste the full link to your profile, for example `https://instagram.com/username`.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="WhatsApp can't open this number.">
    Enter your WhatsApp number with the country code and digits only, for example `15551234567`.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Each social platform can only be added once.">
    You added the same platform twice. Remove the extra one. To share a second profile on the same platform, add its link in **Website** or use a [Multi-Link QR code](/qr-types/multi-link).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Image file size must be less than 5MB">
    Your photo or logo is too large. Resize or compress it, then upload it again.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The address from a map link is wrong or missing">
    Switch to **Manual** and type the address. If the import fails, you see "Could not import that address. Try another link or enter it manually."
