Maltix QR BizCard explainer Q&A

What is the Maltix QR BizCard and how does it differ from traditional business cards?

The Maltix QR BizCard is a modern, phone-friendly alternative to traditional cardboard business cards. Instead of just printed information, it's essentially an online business card (vCard) that lives on your smartphone. It allows you to share your contact details via a dynamic QR code, a shareable link, or directly on the spot. Unlike static QR codes used by some alternatives, Maltix utilizes dynamic QR codes, ensuring "QR continuity" across any upgrades. While digital, Maltix also provides print-ready business card formats for those who still desire physical cards.

How does the Maltix QR BizCard handle contact information and sharing?

When you use a Maltix QR BizCard, your contact details are saved as a vcf file, which is the internet standard for sharing contact information, especially phone numbers. This vCard can be easily shared by scanning the QR code with a smartphone, clicking a provided link, or through direct sharing options available on your device.

What advantages does the dynamic QR code system offer over static QR codes?

Maltix uses dynamic QR codes, which offer significant advantages over static ones. With a dynamic QR code, the underlying information can be updated at any time without needing to reprint the QR code itself. This ensures "QR continuity" even if you upgrade your Maltix subscription or change your details. In contrast, static QR codes permanently encode information, requiring a new QR code to be generated and distributed for any changes.

What control do users have over their data and the information presented on their Maltix QR BizCard?

Maltix emphasizes user control. Subscribers have constant access to and full control over all their data and content within their subscription. This means you can update your details, such as phone number, email, social media links, and more, 24/7, and these changes will go live within minutes without any additional cost or intervention from Maltix.

Can the Maltix QR BizCard integrate with other business tools or platforms?

Yes, the Maltix QR BizCard offers integration capabilities. Notably, it can automatically populate CRM systems like QR Site App or Capsule CRM (upon request to [email protected]). Additionally, you can add links to your social media profiles, events, and scheduling tools like Calendly directly to your BizCard.

What are the costs associated with the Maltix QR BizCard?

There is a £35 setup fee for the Maltix QR BizCard, followed by a £10 monthly subscription. Maltix also offers multiple card deals, for which you need to inquire via [email protected]. The BizCard is also included in the QR Lite Entry and all QR Site modules.

What information is required to set up a Maltix QR BizCard?

To create your Maltix QR BizCard, you will need to provide essential details such as your photo, name, job title, telephone number, email address, trading name, and potentially your company number and VAT number. You can also include your logo, business address, and website URL. Some of these fields are optional.

How does Maltix support users with their business card needs, including printing?
