Contact (vCard) QR codes for retail shops

A vCard QR code saves your shop’s name, phone and address to a customer’s phone in one scan at the counter — so when they want to check stock, reserve an item or reorder, your number is already there. The contact lives inside the code, with nothing to host. Fill in your shop details below to make a free code for the till point and loyalty card.

A regular customer who can’t find your number ends up phoning a competitor or buying online instead. Retail relationships run on the quick call — “do you have this in a medium?”, “can you put one aside?”, “are you open Sunday?” A vCard QR code at the till captures your shop as a saved contact while the customer is already paying. Scan, “Add to contacts”, done — name, number, address and website land in their phone. Next time they need you, you’re a tap away rather than a forgotten high-street name.

Where a shop contact code earns repeat visits

  • At the till point — the natural pause where a customer can scan while you bag their purchase.
  • On the loyalty card — save the shop alongside enrolling, so reorders are one call away.
  • On the receipt and bag insert — a reminder to save you that travels home with them.
  • On the door for after-hours browsers — passers-by save your number to call when you’re open.

What to encode

Include the shop name, the number you actually answer, your address and your website. Keep the captured contact lean so it saves cleanly. A vCard code is static — if your number changes, reprint, or use a dynamic code pointing at a hosted contact page. To send shoppers to your online store instead of (or as well as) saving you, pair this with a shop-website URL code on the same till card.

    “Scan to save our number for reorders and stock checks.”

  4. 4

    Test on both phones

    Scan with an iPhone and an Android before printing a batch.

Pair it with the loyalty card

Customers signing up for loyalty are your warmest. Putting the contact code on the same card means the shop is saved to their phone the moment they commit to coming back.
