Paper cards get lost. Yours won’t.

Hand over a Zapi card and they’ve got everything — your number, your WhatsApp, your links, your location. Change a detail later and every card you’ve ever given out keeps up.

What you get

One card. One registry. Take one, or take both.

The card works on its own, for anyone. The registry is there when you want to be found.

The card

Everything you’d hand over, in one tap. Tap your card on any modern phone and your profile opens instantly — contact details, WhatsApp, socials, location, services. No app to download, nothing to type, nothing to lose. You don’t need a business to want one. You just need people to reach you.

The registry (optional)

Be findable, not just reachable. Choose to list your business on the Zapi registry and customers can search for you directly. Verified businesses carry a verified badge. It’s your call whether you list at all — the card works exactly the same either way.

Every registry listing needs a Zapi card. Not every card needs a listing.

The registry

Get listed while it’s free.

We’re building South Africa’s business registry, and listings are free while we do. Get your business on it now and you’ll be there from the start — searchable by category, by location, and by name.

Verified business

We contacted this business and confirmed it’s real and reachable. The badge shows the date we checked.

Listed, not yet verified

Listed and searchable. We haven’t made the verification call yet — it’s free and you can get it whenever you’re ready.

Listings won’t be free forever. Join now as a founding member and you’ll stay free for six months after we start charging.
