vCardPro is a self-hosted digital business card builder and multi-tenant SaaS application built with Laravel 12. Create online contact cards with 20 built-in templates, share them through public links and QR codes, and use those links with compatible NFC tags. Separate Super Admin and Tenant panels provide tools for customer workspaces, subscription plans, billing, and support.

Designed for professionals, teams, and agencies, vCardPro brings contact details, social profiles, and service showcases together on a single digital card. Customers manage their cards and team members in their own workspace; the platform owner manages plans, template access, payments, and public landing-page content centrally.

Multi-Tenant SaaS with Super Admin and Tenant Panels

Super Admin: Manage Your Digital-Card Business

Oversee tenants, subscription plans, payments, templates, and platform settings from a central administration area. Review business activity, manage customer access, and maintain the public-facing landing page without editing its content directly in the application source.

Tenant: Create and Manage Digital Business Cards

Customers receive their own dashboard, card editor, user management, subscription information, billing history, invoices, settings, and support tickets. Plan-based limits and permissions determine which resources and features are available to each tenant.

Digital Business Card Features and 20 Built-In Templates

• 20 built-in card templates: choose from designs organized into business, creative, professional, lifestyle, and personal categories.
• Structured card editor: manage basic information, images, contact details, social links, and services through dedicated editing tabs.
• Personal and business identity: add a name, job title, company, biography, profile image, and cover image.
• Multiple contact channels: include phone, WhatsApp, email, website, and address information.
• Social profiles: add links to platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, YouTube, and TikTok.
• Services and product showcases: present offerings with titles, descriptions, images, and destination links.
• Dedicated public URLs: give each card its own shareable address with a customizable slug.
• Contact downloads: let visitors download contact details in VCF format.
• Card management: search, edit, activate, deactivate, duplicate, or delete cards within the tenant's allowed quota.

Digital Card Sharing by Link, QR Code, and NFC

Copy a card's public URL for messages, email signatures, and other channels. Generate its QR code and download an SVG version for use in print or digital materials.

NFC-ready sharing lets a compatible NFC tag open the same public card URL. Write that URL to a separately purchased tag using a compatible device and an external NFC-writing application. Because the tag points to the online card, edits to the card's content can appear at the same URL.

Please note: physical NFC cards or tags, a tag-writing application, and native mobile apps are not included. Changing a card's URL may require updating previously distributed links, QR codes, or tags.

SaaS Subscription Plans and Feature Access

The Super Admin defines subscription plans and their available features. Tenants can review their assigned plan, resource usage, and supported purchase or renewal actions from the Subscription Center.

• Create and manage plans with monthly, yearly, or lifetime pricing options.
• Configure trial periods, plan availability, and plan-specific feature values.
• Control card limits and access to features such as premium templates, branding removal, and NFC sharing.
• Classify templates as free or premium to support your plan structure.
• Manage tenant subscriptions and review subscription records from the Super Admin panel.
• Allow tenants to purchase their initial plan, renew their current plan, and access available reactivation actions.
• Show tenants their subscription information and resource usage.

Current scope: tenant self-service plan switching and prorated upgrades or downgrades are not enabled in this version.

Stripe, PayPal, Bank Transfers, and PDF Invoices

Configure Stripe, PayPal, or manual bank transfer to match your payment workflow. Tenants can view billing history and invoices, while the Super Admin reviews transaction records and payment approvals.

• Gateway configuration with availability and test-mode settings.
• Manual transfer proof uploads and administrator approval or rejection.
• Invoice records and downloadable PDF invoices.
• Platform currency, tax, and invoice-prefix settings.
• Separate views for subscriptions, transactions, invoices, and payment approvals.

Online payments require your own supported provider accounts, credentials, and webhook configuration. Payment-provider fees and services are separate. Manual payment proof must be checked against actual receipt of funds before approval.

Platform Management, Landing Page CMS, and Support Tickets

• Dashboard: review the platform's business overview and available summary metrics.
• Tenant administration: manage customer workspaces and access.
• Plans and features: define your offering and maintain plan entitlements.
• Template management: organize the built-in template catalog and access tiers.
• Landing Page CMS: edit hero content and visibility, featured templates, feature grids, testimonials, FAQs, and contact information.
• Platform branding: configure supported logo, favicon, and color settings.
• Notification templates and logs: maintain supported email and in-app notification content and review delivery records.
• Queue monitoring: inspect available job, batch, and scheduler information.
• Activity logs: review recorded application activity.
• Support tickets: organize customer requests with categories, priorities, assignments, statuses, replies, and attachments.

Who Is vCardPro For?

Use vCardPro for consultants, freelancers, sales teams, agencies, and businesses that need a central place to maintain digital contact cards. Agencies and service providers can use its tenant and subscription tools to structure a digital-card offering under their own configured platform branding.

Card designs, quotas, and premium access can be organized around your audience. Your hosting environment and the applicable license determine how the software can be deployed and operated.

How to Install vCardPro on Your Hosting

Install vCardPro by extracting the application ZIP into a prepared hosting directory, configuring the domain and database, and opening the application URL. A fresh deployment launches the browser-based installation wizard when the hosting setup is correct.

1. Upload and extract: upload the supplied application ZIP to your prepared hosting directory and extract the application files.
2. Prepare the server: point the domain to the application as described in the installation guide, create an empty database, and have the database credentials ready.
3. Open your URL: on a fresh, correctly configured deployment, visiting the application URL opens the installation wizard.
4. Complete the wizard: review requirements and permissions, enter database and application settings, and create your own Super Admin account.
5. Configure your platform: sign in and finish branding, plans, payment gateways, email, scheduled tasks, and queue processing as needed.

Separate English HTML guides cover installation, the Super Admin panel, and tenant workflows, with software screenshots and step-by-step explanations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is vCardPro a WordPress plugin or a Laravel application?

vCardPro is a standalone Laravel 12 web application, not a WordPress plugin. Install it on compatible PHP hosting with its own database. Hosting and a domain are not supplied with the software.

Can I manage multiple customers from one installation?

Yes. vCardPro uses tenant workspaces with separate customer administration and a central Super Admin panel. The platform owner manages tenants, plans, subscriptions, and template access, while tenant administrators manage their own cards and users within their permissions and quotas.

Does vCardPro include physical NFC cards or program NFC tags?

No. vCardPro supplies the public digital-card URL that a compatible NFC tag can open. You must obtain the tag separately and write the URL using a compatible device and an external NFC-writing app. NFC sharing also depends on the tenant's plan entitlement.

Can I update a digital card without replacing its QR code or NFC tag?

Yes, provided the public URL stays the same and the card remains accessible. Updating the card's content changes what visitors see at that address. Changing its slug, domain, or other URL components may require replacing the QR code or updating the tag.

Which payment methods can tenants use for subscriptions?

vCardPro includes Stripe, PayPal, and manual bank-transfer payment workflows. Available methods depend on the platform owner's gateway configuration. Online gateways require provider accounts and credentials; manual transfers require administrator verification and approval.

Can tenants upgrade or downgrade plans with automatic proration?

No. Self-service plan switching and prorated upgrades or downgrades are not enabled in this version. The available tenant workflows cover initial plan purchase, current-plan renewal, and supported reactivation actions.

Which PHP version does the supplied application require?

The current bundled dependencies require PHP 8.3 or newer. The server must also meet the extension, database, permission, and background-processing requirements listed above. Check the installation guide before choosing a hosting plan.

Are installation and user guides included?

Yes. The English HTML documentation includes installation instructions and separate Super Admin and Tenant guides, with software screenshots and explanations of the available menus and workflows.
