How to Set Up Your Belcard Profile in Under 60 Seconds

The goal with Belcard was always to make setup invisible — you should be able to go from receiving your card to your first professional tap in under a minute. Here's exactly how to do it.

Before you start

You'll need:

• Your physical Belcard (the chip ID is printed on the inner packaging flap)
• An email address and a password you'll remember
• About 60 seconds

Step 1: Create your account (15 seconds)

Go to belcard.app/signup. Enter your name, email, and a password. That's it — no email verification required to get started, no credit card, no phone number. You're in.

A profile is automatically created at belcard.app/p/yourname1234. You can customise the username later from settings.

Step 2: Add your links (25 seconds)

Head to Dashboard → Profile → Links tab. Add at least two links — we recommend LinkedIn and your email as a minimum starting point.

The drag handle on the left of each link lets you reorder them. Whatever you put first appears most prominently. For most professionals, LinkedIn first is the right call.

Step 3: Pick a theme (10 seconds)

Go to the Card tab in the same editor. You'll see four themes:

• Void — Deep black. Professional default. Never wrong.
• Obsidian — Dark navy with purple. Creative and distinctive.
• Aurora — Teal to violet. Bold. Hard to forget.
• Solar — Dark amber. Warm and rare.

The live preview on the right updates as you click. When you're happy, hit Save changes.

Step 4: Activate your physical card (10 seconds)

Navigate to Dashboard → Card → Activate physical card. Enter the chip ID from your packaging — it looks like BC-A3F7C912. Click Confirm. Done.

Your chip now points to your profile. Any phone that taps it will open your profile in their browser.

Your first tap

Find a colleague, friend, or your own second phone. Hold the card to the back of an iPhone (near the top) or Android (near the centre). The browser opens. Your profile appears.

Check your analytics dashboard — you'll see the tap registered within a few seconds.

What to do after your first tap

• Add a bio. A one or two sentence description under your name makes your profile feel personal rather than mechanical.
• Share the link digitally. Copy your profile URL from the dashboard and paste it into your LinkedIn bio, email signature, and WhatsApp description. You don't need a physical tap for it to work.
• Watch your analytics. After a week of tapping, you'll have real data on which links people click. Adjust your order accordingly.

The whole point of Belcard is that it gets out of the way. Once it's set up, you don't think about it. You just tap.
