Buying in Japan
For Japan, both plans are Price on request — ask us for a price and we reply within 48 hours.
The details you publish fall under the APPI, overseen by the Personal Information Protection Commission.
Ideas for work in Japan: sales staff can send the link in LINE after a first visit; teams working with overseas partners can add an English title and a romanised name; and anyone presenting online can show the QR code on the last slide, where attendees expect contact details.
Tip: after a first meeting, send your profile link in LINE the same day, so the new contact also has your details saved on their phone.
Everything is supplied online and nothing is posted. After payment is confirmed, your order is recorded for profile set-up, which is not instant.
Local questions
- Can I show my name in kanji and romaji?
- Yes. You type your own name and title, so you can show both forms for Japanese and overseas contacts.
- What does a virtual business card cost in Japan?
- Prices for this store are on request. Ask through the contact page and we reply within 48 hours.
- Can I share my profile on LINE?
- Yes. Paste your profile link into a LINE chat; the other person opens it in their browser.
- Can my name appear in Japanese and English?
- Yes. You write your own profile text, so you can show both.
On WhatsApp and iMessage
After a meeting or a phone call, the quickest follow-up is a message. Send your profile link with a line of context, such as "Good to meet you today, here are my details", and the other person can save you with the vCard button instead of copying a number from the chat.
Keep the link in a saved note or a text replacement shortcut on your phone, so sharing it takes seconds wherever you are. It works in group chats too: everyone in the group opens the same profile.
Because the profile opens in the browser already on their phone, it works the same on iPhone and Android, whether they read your message straight away or a week later.
In Slack and Microsoft Teams chat
Internal chat is where new colleagues, contractors and partners ask who you are and how to reach you. Pin your link in your Slack profile or status, or paste it into a Teams chat when you are introduced to a new project group.
For shared channels with clients and suppliers, the link gives outside people your direct details without you posting a phone number in a channel that many people can read.
Making the link preview work for you
WhatsApp, iMessage, Slack and Teams usually turn a link into a small preview card, built from the title and image of the page it opens. What appears depends on the app and on the profile page, so send the link to yourself first and check how it looks.
If no preview appears, the link still works. Add a short sentence saying what it is, so people know to open it. Send it as a link rather than a screenshot of your profile: a screenshot cannot be saved as a contact and goes out of date when your details change. Avoid link shorteners that hide the address; a recognisable link is more likely to be opened.
