New HighLevel QR Code Type: Digital Business Cards

TL;DR

HighLevel's QR code builder now supports digital business cards. This update simplifies contact information sharing.

Who this affects

HighLevel has not confirmed who this specifically affects. It is likely relevant to any agency or entrepreneur using HighLevel who generates QR codes for contact sharing. Specific plan levels or sub-account setups are unknown.

What changed

The QR code builder now features custom profile and business card types. Users can select the card type and configure details such as information, photo, banner, and custom links. A live preview function is available during creation. When scanned, the QR code allows a person to save contact information directly into their phone contacts. Setup takes approximately two minutes. HighLevel has not confirmed any limits, plan gating, or rollout status.

Where to find it

HighLevel has not published the exact navigation path for this new feature. Given it relates to the QR code builder, it will likely be found within the existing QR code generation section of the platform.

How agencies will use this

An agency can set up digital business cards for their clients who attend networking events or conferences. A real estate agent client could have a unique QR code on their printed marketing materials. When scanned, this code immediately populates a new contact entry on a prospective buyer's phone with the agent's name, phone, email, and even a link to their active listings or social media profiles. This replaces the need for physical business cards, offering a more immediate and digital contact exchange. The quick setup allows agencies to deploy these for multiple clients efficiently.

Our take

This is a minor but practical update. While HighLevel categorizes its significance as 'major,' HighLevel has not confirmed why this is the case. This feature streamlines contact sharing and offers a modern alternative to traditional business cards. It does not introduce new core functionality or significantly alter existing workflows. Agencies can offer this as a value-add for clients, especially those in sales or service industries. It is not an update that demands immediate attention this week.
