How to Add a Business Card to Google Wallet
Put a digital business card in Google Wallet on Android, test the pass, and understand how it differs from saving a contact.
A Google Wallet business card gives an Android user a convenient place to keep a pass that opens or displays the card. The pass is a sharing surface, not a replacement for the recipient's saved contact.
Add the pass
Open the Wallet action provided by your card platform on the Android device. Review the account and pass details, approve the addition, then open Google Wallet independently to confirm it is present.
Test on another device
Present the pass and scan its code with a different phone. Verify the public page, contact download, links, and mobile layout. Android hardware and software vary, so test the devices your audience actually uses.
Keep one source of truth
The pass, QR code, NFC tag, and shared link should all lead to the same editable profile. That reduces version drift and makes updates manageable. See the smart business card page for the combined approach.
Frequently asked questions
Is Google Wallet required to view my card?
No. The recipient should be able to open the web-based digital business card in a browser. Wallet is primarily a convenient sharing option for the card owner.
Does every Android phone behave identically?
No. Wallet availability, NFC hardware, camera behavior, and background settings can differ. Always provide a normal link or QR fallback.
