A Tour of the AurCard Dashboard

The AurCard dashboard is built on a simple division: Cards for what belongs to you as a person, Company for your business, its branches and its team, Contacts for people who got in touch, Analytics for open and interaction figures, Sticker for pointing NFC tags at your pages, and Settings for your account and subscription. The organising idea is that a personal card and a business page are different objects with different audiences, so they are managed in different places rather than crammed into one list.

Cards: where every account starts

This is the first thing you need after registering, and where you create and edit your personal card.

Inside a card you set: name and title, photograph, bio, contact methods, profile links, template and colours. Every change you save appears immediately to anyone opening the link afterwards — nothing to republish and nobody to notify.

This section also gives you your card link and QR code, ready to share or print. If you intend to print the code, download it at high resolution from here rather than screenshotting it.

How many cards you can create depends on your plan: the free plan allows one, paid plans allow more. Step-by-step setup is in how to create a digital business card.

Company: everything about your business

This is the largest area of the dashboard, available on the shop plans rather than the personal ones, because it is built for people running an actual business.

It holds several connected groups:

Company information: name, logo, description, visual identity.

Opening hours, set precisely including weekends and seasons.

Branches, for anyone with more than one location, each with its own details.

Departments, for organising teams and services.

Products, services and menu — what customers actually browse.

Gallery and previous work, for anyone whose work needs showing visually.

Bookings and appointments, for appointment-based businesses.

Reviews, for displaying customer feedback.

Team and users, for adding employees and setting their permissions.

Not every group is needed by every business. A restaurant needs the menu, hours and reviews; a clinic needs bookings and departments; a real estate office needs products and gallery. Fill in what serves your business and leave the rest empty.

A recommended order for setting up

The common mistake is trying to fill everything at once, stalling halfway, and leaving the page half-finished for weeks.

The practical order:

First: company information, opening hours and location. Those alone make a useful page that answers the most repeated customer questions.

Second: what you sell — menu, products or services with prices.

Third: bookings, if your business needs them.

Fourth: team, reviews and gallery.

Publish straight after the first stage. An incomplete page that exists is worth more than a complete one deferred, and later additions appear immediately without the link changing.

Contacts

This is where details from anyone who completed a contact form on your page arrive: name, number, and what they wrote.

The essential benefit is that enquiries land in one place instead of scattering across salespeople's chats and notes. That scattering is where small businesses lose most of their opportunities.

A practical recommendation: make reviewing this section a daily habit at a fixed time rather than something you open when you remember. Building a follow-up system is covered in collecting leads systematically.

Analytics

This shows your pages' figures: how many times they were opened, which buttons were pressed, and how the numbers moved over time.

The right way to use this section is not checking it daily but once a month with a specific question in mind: are people opening my page and pressing nothing? Which button deserves to move up? Which tag in my shop is nobody using?

The level of detail varies by plan: the free plan gives basic figures, paid plans give more.

Sticker

From here you point an NFC tag at whichever page you want, and change its destination later without touching the tag.

This is exactly what makes a tag a one-off investment. The tag stuck to a table in your café can open the menu today, a Ramadan offer during Ramadan, and a review page during a period when you want feedback.

Pointing several tags at different destinations helps for a reason that only becomes clear later: it lets you learn which positions in your shop actually get used, because each tag carries its own separate figures.

Settings and subscription

This covers your account details, password, interface language, and your current plan with the option to change it.

One point deserves attention here: language. The interface works in Arabic and English, and your public page presents both to visitors. Make sure your Arabic version is written as an original rather than translated literally — that is the biggest difference between a page that reads as local and one that reads as imported.

What appears on your plan and what does not

You may notice some sections are unavailable to you. That reflects your plan rather than a fault.

The whole Company area belongs to the shop plans, because it is built for a business with a catalogue, branches and a team. Personal plans concentrate on the personal card.

Some features — linking an NFC tag, a custom QR code, and fuller analytics — start from the paid plans.

The full comparison is in choosing the right plan, with details on the pricing page.

Personal card or company page?

A question that comes up on first use: which should I create? The answer is that they serve different purposes, and many people need both.

A personal card revolves around a person: their name, background and contact methods. It suits professional relationships, exhibitions, interviews — any situation where you are introducing yourself.

A company page revolves around a place or a business: what it sells, where it is, when it opens, how to book. It suits how customers deal with your shop.

If you own a business and meet clients yourself, create both and link them: your personal card points at the shop page, and the shop page shows your team, including you.

The common mistake is cramming everything into one: a personal card carrying a product catalogue and opening hours, which is neither an introduction nor a shopfront. Separating them is not added complexity; it is what lets each page do its job clearly.

What visitors see versus what you see

A point that confuses new users: what you see in the dashboard is not what a visitor to your page sees.

The dashboard is an administration tool showing empty fields, options, settings and save buttons. A visitor sees a clean page containing only what you actually filled in — empty fields do not appear to them as gaps; they do not appear at all.

Which is why the single most valuable habit is opening your public page on your phone after any significant edit, rather than relying on the preview inside the dashboard. The gap between those two views is where most mistakes hide: a button you assumed was visible, or long text that looks fine on a monitor and becomes a wall on a phone.

The first twenty minutes

If you have just registered, this order gets you to a published page today:

Five minutes: create your card and fill in name, title and one contact method.

Ten minutes: write a two-line bio, upload a photo, choose a template.

Three minutes: publish, test the link on another phone, and press every button.

Two minutes: save the link somewhere you can reach quickly, and put it in your email signature.

Then stop. Everything else gets added gradually based on what you discover you actually need, rather than what you imagine you might.

With AurCard all of the above stays editable at any time, and appears immediately to everyone who opens your link.
