Digital Business Cards: The Modern vCard 3.0 Standard
A vCard QR code embeds structured contact information complying with the universal vCard (RFC 2426) standard. Scanning the code with any modern smartphone instantly parses the contact card and prompts the user with an "Add to Contacts" or "Save New Contact" action. It encapsulates full name, organization, job title, primary phone numbers, email address, physical location, and website URL in a single compact matrix.

vCard QR Code Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Likely Root Cause | Recommended Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Phone shows contact text instead of "Add Contact" | Device camera app lacks native vCard parsing. | Update mobile operating system or open scan via Google Lens. |
| Special characters or accents broken in name | Mismatched UTF-8 text encoding on legacy handsets. | Use standard ASCII Latin characters for international business cards. |
| QR code matrix appears too tiny and dense | Too many optional fields included in payload. | Remove secondary addresses and excessive notes to enlarge module size. |
