How It Works
Meet. Connect. Nurture.
What’s a digital business card?
It’s a contact-free way to share your contact details in person, or over teleconference with your prospects and clients.
Using a digital card communicates fresh, innovative, sustainable and safe. It’s a way for you to effortlessly nurture relationships, build efficiency into your business processes and drive traffic to your company’s digital channels.
Digital cards drive human connection in a digital world.
Design it
Pick your brand colors and add your logo. Add links to your business pages, social media channels, white-papers, media spotlights, awards etc.
Share it
Share your digital card via QR code or unique URL with the people you meet. The other person doesn’t need the Haystack app, it saves it directly to their phone contacts.
Work it
Unlock the power of app integrations. Automate workflows around your connections and automatically sync new contacts to your database.
Making the switch to digital cards.
So, you’re ready to give paper the flick?
Let’s be honest, changing a habit can be challenging.
Paper business cards have been engrained in our business relationships since the 17th century. They’re older than the calculator. Switching to digital cards comes with a suite of benefits once we rethink the way we connect with people.
Today, we’re living in a mobile-first, digital-first age where printing email addresses on a piece of paper is counter-intuitive. Making the switch means more time nurturing relationships and less time searching for paper cards at the bottom of your bag.

Three ways to exchange details.
Use your QR code
Your QR code makes it quick to exchange details.
The other person can scan it with their camera and a pop-up will appear with a link to your card. From there, they just tap the link and save to contacts.
Share your unique card URL
Your card is accessible on any device via a unique URL.
Open your card and tap the share button. Select how you would like to send the link, enter in the other person's email or mobile/cell number and hit send.
Scan a paper business card
When the other person doesn’t have Haystack.
Take their card and snap a photo of it with the Haystack scanner. Their details will be saved in your Haystack app - then choose to email your card link directly to them.
FAQs
Does the other person need to have the Haystack app?
No. You can share your Haystack card with anyone - even if they don’t have the app.
Your card has a QR code and unique URL which can be shared at anytime, anywhere - and saved directly into the phone contacts of the person you're connecting with.

You sure can. You can create as many cards as you’d like, and manage them separately.
Here is how to create a new card.
Will I still need paper cards?
It’s totally up to you. We’ve designed Haystack so you don’t need paper cards.
