Your link and your name

The moment a Kard is created, eKard assigns it a link — five random characters, letters and digits, something like ekard.app/k3fp9. It costs nothing, it never expires, and it is already live: anyone who opens it sees your card.

You will find it on the Share tab — the tab you land on when you open a Kard from Kards — in the read-only "Share link" field with its "Copy" button. The QR code on the same tab encodes the same address, so the link and the code always agree. Print it, put it in an email signature, paint it on the shop wall: a random link is a perfectly good permanent address.

A name of your own

Random works; a name is better. A name link — ekard.app/yourname — comes with the paid plans, and every paid tier includes it. The course on plans and billing covers what each costs.

There is no claim-a-name screen in the app today — the team sets your name for you. After upgrading, write to hello@ekard.app, or message the team on WhatsApp, with two things: the name you want, and which card it is for.

Names are first come, first served — each has exactly one owner. They are made of lowercase letters, numbers, dots and underscores; capitals fold to lowercase, so ekard.app/Priya and ekard.app/priya are the same address.

Changing a link is a hard cut

A link change — including the day your name replaces the random link you started with — takes effect immediately and completely. The old address stops working: there is no redirect, and a visitor opening it finds nothing. Every QR that encodes the old address dies with it, wherever it is printed.

eKard handles the digital side on its own: the card's QR image regenerates with the new address, and so does the QR of every document the card carries. The course on your QR code covers when and why QRs regenerate.
