New in BioHostYour business card, in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet
Paper cards run out, get left in a camera bag, and go out of date. The BioHost Wallet card lives on your phone, opens your portfolio with one scan, and keeps itself up to date.
What it does
Always on your phone
Your card sits in Wallet next to your boarding passes and tickets. Show it at a workshop, a photowalk or a gallery opening: no app to open, and no signal needed.
One scan to your Bio
The people you meet scan the code with their phone camera and land on your BioHost page, with your portfolio, socials and upcoming workshops. They don't need an app.
Updates itself
Change your photo, links or socials in BioHost and the card in Wallet follows within a minute or so, on every phone that has it. No reprinting, no resending.
Event mode
Running a workshop? Point the card's QR code at its booking or event page. The day after it ends, the card goes back to your Bio by itself.
Save contact
One tap adds you to their Contacts, with your name, photo, phone number, website, Instagram and Bio link filled in, so you're not lost in their camera roll.
Private by design
The card holds only what your public BioHost page already shows. No tracking, no ads, and nothing about the people who scan it.
A look at the card
The card in Apple Wallet, the same card in event mode, and the Android version in Google Wallet.

Until the end of 28 Nov, then back to your page. Cards in Wallet update by themselves.
Add the card, and choose what its QR code opens, from your BioHost editor.

Questions
Do the people I meet need an app?
No. They scan the QR code with their phone's camera, like any other QR code, and your BioHost page opens in their browser. From there they can save your contact in one tap.
Does it work on Android?
Yes. iPhone users add the card to Apple Wallet, and Android users to Google Wallet. It's the same card, with the same QR code, live updates and event mode.
What happens when I change my page?
The card updates itself. Save your BioHost page and every copy of the card in Wallet refreshes within a minute or so, including on the phones of people you've shared it with.
How does event mode work?
In BioHost, choose one of your upcoming workshops for the card's QR code. Until the workshop's last day, scanning the card opens that workshop's page. The day after, it switches back to your Bio without you doing anything.
Can I still print my QR code?
Yes. BioHost still gives you a QR code to download for handouts, posters and printed business cards. The Wallet card is the version that's always in your pocket.
What does it cost?
Nothing extra. The Wallet card is part of BioHost, which is included with your Hub subscription.
