The category’s words

Digital business card
A web page carrying your name, title, numbers and links, which the other person opens by scanning a QR code, tapping an NFC card or following a link, and saves as a contact in one tap. In AurCard it is an employee’s card in their company’s identity. Read more
NFC (near-field communication)
A wireless technology for a few centimetres: a small chip with no battery opens a link when a modern phone comes close, with no app. It works with iPhone 7 and newer and most recent Android phones. Read more
Smart sticker (NFC sticker)
A sticker carrying an NFC chip, placed on the door, a table or the counter; the customer taps it with their phone and the business’s page opens. Ordered from the dashboard after subscribing, at 74.75 SAR including VAT, paid once. Read more
QR code
A square code any phone camera reads to open a link. An AurCard code points at your page’s permanent address, so you change the page whenever you like without reprinting the code. Read more
Digital menu (QR menu)
A menu the customer opens on their phone by scanning a code or tapping a sticker on the table; prices and dishes change in seconds instead of reprinting. Read more
Wallet pass
A copy of the employee’s card saved in Apple Wallet on iPhone or Google Wallet on Android, in the company’s colours and logo; it opens from the wallet in a second, and its code opens the live page, so every edit reaches whoever scans it. To refresh the fields printed on the pass itself, add it again with one tap. Read more
WhatsApp auto-reply
A message the company number sends by itself when a customer writes outside working hours or for the first time, so no message is left unanswered. Read more
Shared inbox
One screen where the company’s team sees the WhatsApp conversations reaching its number, replies from it and assigns a conversation to an employee, with everything written kept on record. Read more
Branch and subsidiary brand
A branch is another location of the same brand, with its own page, map pin and hours. A subsidiary brand is a different trade name owned by the same company: a company of its own with its own page, managed and billed from the parent. Read more
Automatic page translation
You write your page once in your language; it is translated automatically into more than one language and opens in the visitor’s phone language, and any translation you correct by hand stays corrected. Read more
