Digital Business CardsFAQ

A digital business card is a live web profile that replaces a paper card. It holds contact details, social links, files, and booking links, and you share it by NFC tap, QR, Wallet pass, email signature, or a direct link.

No. Digital cards are one channel. KARTEE is an Enterprise Identity and Contact Capture Platform. It unifies public profiles, native Apple and Google Wallet passes, email signatures, meeting backgrounds, Vision AI paper-card scanning, link-in-bio pages, and campaign QR codes under one governed identity.

No. Profiles open in a standard mobile browser. Recipients can save a vCard to their phone or share their own contact without downloading anything.

Tap an NFC card, show a QR from your phone or Wallet pass, send a profile link, or include the live profile in your email signature and meeting background. Recipients need no app.

Yes. Edit the profile in your dashboard and the live web card updates immediately. Dynamic online Wallet passes refresh with the live profile. Airplane (offline) vCard snapshots update when the pass is reissued. Printed NFC cards keep working because they open the live profile, not a frozen file.

Yes. KARTEE includes native localization and first-class Arabic RTL, so GCC and international teams can run bilingual profiles without a separate product.

Yes. The admin dashboard shows profile scans, contact exchange rates, employee activity, and lead volume by event. Views and scans are usage metrics, not revenue.

Native Apple Wallet on iOS and Google Wallet on Android. Passes follow each OS visual standard.

Online mode shows a live-profile QR that opens the current KARTEE card. Airplane (offline) mode shows a vCard QR with name, title, phone, and email that can be scanned and saved with no network.

No. They scan the pass QR with the phone camera and can save the contact to the device address book.

Most modern iPhones from iPhone 7 up, and most Android phones since 2015, can read NFC without an app. The tap opens the live profile in the browser.

No. The chip carries the public profile link. Private fields stay off the card. If the physical card is damaged, the live profile remains available by QR or link.

The chip is passive and does not need charging. Under normal use it typically lasts over 10 years.

A profile QR belongs to one person's digital business card. A campaign QR sits in a corporate library for print, events, and packaging, with routing rules and aggregate scan analytics. Dynamic codes can change destination after print. Static codes cannot.

No. KARTEE is the intake layer. The mini-CRM captures, tags, and stages contacts at the point of meeting, then syncs into your corporate CRM.

Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho, Pipedrive, Monday.com, and Microsoft Dynamics 365, plus custom webhooks for enterprise setups.

Photograph a paper card in the KARTEE web app. Vision AI drafts name, title, email, and other fields, including Arabic RTL. You review and edit before the contact is saved. This is a human-in-the-loop workflow, not an auto-save into CRM.

No. The scanner runs in the KARTEE web app. You can add a home-screen shortcut. There is no App Store or Google Play requirement.

They can choose Add Only, download your card, and leave without submitting a form.

Contacts sit on the company account. Administrators control visibility, export, and CRM routing. Employees do not take the book with them when they leave.

Yes. Forms and paper-card scans stored on the device sync to the mini-CRM and connected CRM when the network returns.

Yes. Admins define the HTML template, brand, and required links. Employee data fills the template. KARTEE does not write into private mailboxes. Teams paste or import the HTML into Outlook, Gmail, Apple Mail, Thunderbird, and major mobile clients.

The live digital business card updates immediately. The signature text inside the mail client updates when the new HTML snippet is redeployed.

Any client that supports a custom image background, including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Cisco Webex, and GoToMeeting. The QR sits in a corner that stays clear of the speaker.

No. They point a phone camera at the screen. The code opens the live profile in a browser.

A digital card is built for contact exchange. A micro-landing is a governed link-in-bio hub for campaigns, media, and resource lists. It does not replace your corporate website. Dynamic QR codes can point at either, and you can retarget without reprinting.

Yes, on Enterprise. Custom domains such as id.yourcompany.com are supported, with SSL provisioning and renewal handled for that DNS setup.

Individual is for solo professionals. SME is for growing teams that need branded cards, signatures, and centralized leads. Enterprise is for SSO, SCIM or Azure AD directory sync, field locks, and multi-entity admin. Community is complimentary for eligible non-profits, associations, and accelerators. Startup is complimentary for eligible early-stage founders.

Yes. Eligible community groups and early-stage startups receive complimentary access to core digital identity and lead capture. There is no trial clock on Community once approved.

No. Physical NFC cards are optional. You can share through Wallet, email signatures, meeting backgrounds, and QR without hardware.

Yes. You can transition from Startup through commercial plans without dropping contacts, QR codes, or digital profiles.

Commercial plan pricing is on the Plans page. Enterprise quotes for multi-entity rollouts come from the B2B team. This FAQ does not list prices.

Recognized community groups, non-profits, student associations, volunteer initiatives, and social organizations. Submit the form on the Community page. Review typically returns within 3 business days.

No. The free card is for personal use. Team branding, CRM routing, SSO, and governance sit on SME and Enterprise. Paid Individual plans can hold extra profiles for different professional contexts.

Microsoft Entra ID (Azure AD), Okta, and Google Workspace, plus SAML 2.0 and OIDC for other enterprise IdPs. Directory sync uses SCIM or Azure AD.

KARTEE is not SOC 2 certified. Controls include SSO, SCIM or Azure AD directory sync, RBAC, centralized audit logs, TLS 1.3 in transit, and AES-256 at rest. Security documentation is available on request. Do not treat the platform as ISO 27001, HIPAA, or PDPL certified.

When the person is deactivated in your directory, SCIM sync revokes portal access, disables the public card, and archives the Wallet pass.

Admins mark directory-owned fields such as title, department, work email, and official phone. Those stay bound to SCIM or API sync. Employee-editable fields are not overwritten on each directory pass.

The admin console locks logos, palettes, job titles, and other corporate fields across profiles, signatures, and QR. People edit only the personal fields you allow.

Yes. Use encrypted bulk CSV or XLSX import, or admin magic links, then add SCIM later.

Yes. Parent orgs keep master access, policy, and billing. Local admins apply distinct logos, colors, and domains for subsidiaries.

No. Modules are optional. Core identity, Wallet, QR, NFC, and lead capture work without them. Toggle modules per person or department from the same dashboard. They are not a separate product.

Sector workflows, licenses, and booking modules live on the Industries pages. This hub covers how modules attach to the platform, not every vertical FAQ.

Live profiles, Wallet passes, signatures, and reusable NFC cards stop the reprint cycle when titles and numbers change. The admin dashboard shows estimated paper, water, and CO2 avoided. Those figures are directional, not audited carbon accounting, and not a substitute for CSRD, GRI, or CDP disclosure.

Every physical NFC card ordered funds the planting of a tree through reforestation partners. That is a funded planting, not a claim that KARTEE plants the tree with its own crews.

A single NFC card has a higher up-front footprint than one paper card. It is built to last years, while paper cards are discarded and reordered. Over that lifecycle, one durable NFC card replaces repeated paper runs.

Yes. Export estimated savings and planted-tree counts from the dashboard for internal reports and profiles. Treat them as directional metrics.

Most white-label partners go live in 7 days after setup and onboarding.
