A digital visiting card is the online version of your paper card: one page with your name, photo, title, phone, email, and social links — shared with a single tap or scan, and editable whenever your details change. A paper visiting card prints those details once, so any change means reprinting the whole batch. This guide compares the two honestly — including where paper still makes sense.
- Digital cards share themselves in one tap — contact saved, nothing to retype.
- Paper cards freeze your details the day they are printed.
- A Tapyzon digital visiting card costs from ৳400 one-time, no subscription.
- Keep a small paper stack for formal events if you like — but make the digital card your default.
What is a digital visiting card?
A digital visiting card (also called a digital business card or e-business card) is a web page that represents you professionally. Instead of handing over a printed card, you share the page:
- With NFC: tap your card on their phone and the page opens instantly.
- With a link: send it on WhatsApp, email, or LinkedIn.
- With a QR code: they scan it and the page opens.
Once the page is open, one tap on "Save Contact" stores your details correctly — no spelling mistakes, no "I'll add you later" that never happens.
Side-by-side comparison
| Factor | Digital visiting card | Paper visiting card |
|---|---|---|
| Sharing | Tap, scan, or link — takes seconds | Hand over a card |
| Contact saved | Directly to their phone | They type it in later (usually never) |
| Updating details | Edit online, instant for everyone | Reprint and re-hand-out |
| Runs out | Never — share it 1,000 times | Yes — order more after the batch ends |
| Rich content | Photos, video, social links, portfolio | Name, number, address — that's it |
| Works for | Daily networking, teams, personal brand | Formal ceremonies, paper-preferring contacts |
The visual comparison also lives on our NFC vs QR vs paper table.
Cost over time
Paper cards look cheaper per piece, but they are a recurring cost: every move, new role, new number, or design refresh means another print run. A digital visiting card is bought once:
- Tapyzon Standard (White): ৳400 one-time.
- Tapyzon Black: ৳500 one-time.
- Includes your digital profile with unlimited edits — no monthly fee.
Delivery inside Dhaka is ৳60 (2–5 business days) and nationwide is ৳120 (5–7 business days) — see shipping details.
How you share a digital card
- NFC tap — the fastest: their phone opens your profile before the conversation even starts.
- WhatsApp link — perfect after the meeting: "I just sent you my card."
- QR code — print it on your stand, brochure, or laptop sticker.
All three routes open the same profile, so your identity stays consistent everywhere. That consistency is the core of personal branding — and the profile itself is the foundation of your digital identity.
When paper still wins
Being honest about the trade-offs builds trust:
- Very formal events where a printed card is part of the ceremony.
- Contacts who insist on paper — keep a small stack for them.
- Environments with no phones — rare, but they exist.
Even then, the smart move is to use paper as the introduction and follow up with your digital card, so their phone ends up with the correct, current details.

FAQ: digital visiting cards
What is a digital visiting card?
A digital visiting card is an online version of your paper card: one shareable page with your name, photo, job title, phone, email, and social links. It can be shared with an NFC tap, a QR code, or a link — and you can update it anytime without reprinting anything.
Are digital visiting cards accepted in Bangladesh?
Yes. NFC phones and QR scanning are common across Bangladesh, and a digital card leaves the contact saved directly in the other person's phone — which is exactly what a paper card was supposed to do, minus the re-typing.
How much does a digital visiting card cost?
With Tapyzon, the digital visiting card is included with the physical NFC card: ৳400 for the Standard card and ৳500 for the Black card, one-time, with no monthly fee.
Do I still need paper cards if I have a digital one?
For most daily networking, no — a phone is always with you and the digital card never runs out. Some people keep a small stack of paper cards for very formal events or for contacts who insist on paper, but your main contact details should live on a profile you can update.
