A button to your profile

Digital business card and LinkedIn: connecting the two
LinkedIn shows your career; your digital business card gives your contact details in one scan. Connected, they complement each other: your profile is one tap from your card, and your card one click from your profile.

Connecting your card and LinkedIn
- 01
Add your profile to the card
In the card editor, paste your LinkedIn profile address into the LinkedIn field: a button appears on your card.
- 02
Add your card to LinkedIn
On LinkedIn, add your card link (visitcard.app/c/your-name) to your contact info or your “Featured” section: your connections find your up-to-date number and email there.
- 03
Share
From your card, the “Share on LinkedIn” button opens LinkedIn’s share window with your card link.
What VisitCard does with LinkedIn
Your company page
A second button can lead to your company’s LinkedIn page, next to your personal profile.
In your email signature
The email signature generated from your card can show the link to your LinkedIn profile, along with your other networks.
The QR code instead of search
At a meeting, rather than spelling your name into LinkedIn search, show your card’s QR code: people save you, then reach your profile in one tap.
LinkedIn does not replace a business card
A LinkedIn profile does not give your phone number to everyone, and searching for someone by name takes time when several profiles look alike. Your digital card is saved straight into the phone’s address book, with your email, your number and the link to your profile.
What VisitCard does not do
VisitCard is not connected to the LinkedIn API: nothing is imported from your profile and nothing is posted on your behalf. You enter your LinkedIn link yourself, and sharing goes through LinkedIn’s own share window, which you confirm.
To go further on combining the two for networking, read our blog article below, and for your emails, see the company email signature.
Frequently asked questions
Can I import my LinkedIn profile into my card?
No, VisitCard is not connected to the LinkedIn API. You fill in your card yourself and add your profile address in the LinkedIn field.
Is the LinkedIn link included in the free plan?
Yes, the link to your LinkedIn profile is one of the networks available from the free Starter plan. So is the button to your company’s LinkedIn page.
Does my contact find my LinkedIn in their phone?
Yes: when they save your contact from your card, the contact file (vCard) includes the link to your LinkedIn profile.
Can I put my card’s QR code on LinkedIn?
You can add your card link to your LinkedIn profile, or place the QR code downloaded from your dashboard in an image, for example your banner. Always test the QR code before publishing it.
