How to add a business card to Google Wallet

By AddvCard Team · January 29, 2025

Storing your business card in Google Wallet keeps it one swipe away on your Android phone, right beside your payment cards and boarding passes. It’s always current, always with you, and shareable in a single tap. Here’s how to add it.

What you’ll need

  • An Android phone with Google Wallet (Android 9+ with Google Play services)
  • A digital business card (this guide uses AddvCard)

No hardware, no extra purchase — just your phone.

Step-by-step: add your card to Google Wallet

  1. Create your digital business card. Add your name, role, contact details, and links. With AddvCard you can create one for free in about a minute.
  2. Open your card on your Android phone. Open the link to your own card in Chrome.
  3. Tap “Add to Google Wallet.” You’ll see a button to save your card as a Wallet pass.
  4. Confirm. Follow the prompt to add it. Your card now lives in Google Wallet.
  5. Done. Open Google Wallet any time to find your card with your other passes.

How to share your card from Google Wallet

  • Open Google Wallet and select your card.
  • Show your QR code to the person you’re meeting.
  • They scan it with their camera and save your contact instantly.

Your card sits on your phone ready to go, so you can share it from your lock screen during meetings, at conferences, or anywhere you make a new connection.

Why keep your card in Google Wallet?

  • Always accessible. Your phone is always with you, so your card is too.
  • One-tap sharing. Faster and cleaner than paper.
  • Silent updates. Update your details once and the saved pass refreshes automatically for everyone who has it.
  • Cross-platform. Works seamlessly alongside Apple Wallet for iPhone users on your team.

Do recipients need an app?

No. The people you share with simply scan your QR code or open your link and save your contact — no Google Wallet, no app, and no account required. It works on any modern phone, iPhone or Android.

Troubleshooting

  • No “Add to Google Wallet” button? Open your card in Chrome on your Android phone and make sure Google Wallet is installed and set up.
  • Pass not showing the latest info? Open Google Wallet and refresh; passes update in the background.
  • Mixed-device team? Everyone gets the same experience — Android users use Google Wallet, iPhone users use Apple Wallet, and AddvCard Teams keeps branding consistent.
