Use from mobile vs desktop
Cards work on both devices, but the experience is not the same.
Differences
| Action | Mobile | Desktop |
|---|---|---|
| Phone call | One tap places the call | Opens the phone app, if there is one |
| Opens the WhatsApp app | Opens WhatsApp Web | |
| Save contact | Adds the details to the phone's address book | Downloads a vCard file |
| View PDF / catalogue | Opens in the phone's viewer | Opens in the browser |
| NFC | Works by holding the card near the phone | Not available |
| Wallet | Native Apple / Google Wallet | Not available |
On mobile
- Call and WhatsApp connectors work with a single tap
- "Save contact" writes the details straight into the address book
- The card opens from the wallet without launching any app
- An NFC card works by holding it near the phone
- Best for meetings in person, trade fairs and events
On desktop
- Web links, PDFs and videos open in the browser
- More comfortable for browsing several connectors
- Best for sharing by email, in email signatures and on LinkedIn
馃挕 Tip: Design your card for mobile first. That is where most of the interactions happen.
