Zolo: User Guide / FAQ
Zolo is our digital business card sharing system, and ZoloCard is the tool making use of Zolo.
Each ZoloCard works with a unique URL dedicated to you, in the format of "myzolo.me/c/xxxxxxxx", of which "xxxxxxxx" is your unique Card ID. The NFC chip (if available) and QR code on your ZoloCard is directly linked to this unique URL by default.
By logging into your MyZolo account with your Card ID (and password) at www.myzolo.me, you can set up where the unique URL of your ZoloCard is linked to, such as the built-in Profile page or your own websites or social links. In other words, you can freely modify and control, at any time, what your ZoloCard is sharing when it is being tapped or scanned.
In your MyZolo account, you can also update your contact info that you want to share on your Profile page or Linkpage. In case you don't like the built-in Profile page or Linkpage, your ZoloCard can directly share your own page by any other platforms, such as LinkedIn, Linktree and so on.
To set up your ZoloCard for the first time, the easiest way is to tap your card on your phone (or scan the QR code on the card with your phone).
Then, your will be directed to a page with the "Set Up My Card" button. Click on that button, and then you will be directed to the Zolo portal log-in page, with your Card ID pre-filled. Next, enter the password that came with your ZoloCard to log in, and then you can set up your card and profile, change your password, etc.
Alternatively, you may go to www.myzolo.me and log in by typing the Card ID of your ZoloCard manually with the password that comes with it. Your Card ID is the last 8 characters of your unique card URL, which is printed on your card, and / or is the link of the QR code on (or the NFC tag in) your card. For example, if your unique card URL is "myzolo.me/c/atphwxgg", your Card ID will be "atphwxgg".

The Profile page shows your profile picture, a "save contact" button (vCard download button), your name, your job title / role / position, your company / organization, your short note / bio, your phone numbers, your email addresses, your (work) address, your websites / links.
The Linkpage is more minimalistic. First, it shows a smaller profile picture. And, all the contact details (including the phone numbers, emails and address) are hidden on the page but, of course, they can still be saved directly by clicking the "save contact" button. In this way, your websites and links can be featured.
To allow the others to contact you directly when they are on your Profile page or Linkpage, simply add your contact details or your social links to your MyZolo account.
For the Profile page, the phone numbers, emails and address that you added to your account will be shown. When a phone number on your Profile is clicked, the default phone app will be prompted, prefilled with the number clicked. When an email address on your Profile is clicked, the default email app will be prompted to draft an email to that address. When an address on the Profile is clicked, the Google Map app will be prompted to show the address there.
For the Linkpage, those contact details are hidden (but can be saved directly by clicking the "save contact" button). If you want the viewers of your Linkpage can contact you easily, you may add your social media links, such as WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Instagram, and so on.
