What is an Ecardify eCard?

Where are eCard video and audio files stored?
They are stored on Google Cloud in a 'bucket' that belongs to the Ecardify subscriber.
What is an active eCard?
It's an eCard currently stored on the Ecardify platform, under a subscriber's account.
How long will an eCard remain active?
An eCard will remain active as long as the owner does not delete it manually, or until it reaches its expiration date.
Can I set my own eCard recording length and expiration date?
Yes, you can set them both on the dashboard.
What is eCard question-and-answer encryption?
It is the method Ecardify uses to ensure the confidentiality of an eCard's digital content. The user recording the content, such as a live video or audio message, can pose a question whose answer is known only to the intended recipient. Ecardify then encrypts the content using this answer before permanently destroying the answer. Consequently, only the recipient who knows the correct answer can decrypt and access the content.
Will Ecardify integration require modifications to my website's flow?
No. Ecardify seamlessly adds a few buttons to existing HTML forms, thereby providing your users with the option to record live video and audio as well.

What is an Ecardify Static QR Code?
It is a QR Code that directs to a video, audio, text message, or a web address. Once created, the destination of this QR Code cannot be changed.
What is an Ecardify Dynamic QR Code?
It is a type of QR Code whose content and destination can be modified at any time. Ecardify generates 'white label' Dynamic QR Codes, meaning the URL is hosted under your own web domain, thus representing your brand. Additionally, you have the option to secure the content through encryption with a question and answer, ensuring confidentiality.
What is a Record & playback QR Code?
It is a QR Code that enables the recording of video, audio, or text messages upon scanning. Once the content is recorded and saved, this QR Code becomes a Static QR Code, meaning any further scans will lead to the previously recorded content. To ensure confidentiality, the content can be safeguarded with question-and-answer encryption.
Ecardify subscribers can generate and print an unlimited number of these QR Codes. An illustrative use case is attaching personalized messages to flowers and gifts, enhancing the gift-giving experience.

What is a Multi record QR Code?
It is a type of Recordable QR Code designed to allow multiple users the ability to either record or playback messages. After recording content, a user receives a unique key that should be noted beneath the printed QR Code. Future users, intending to access the content, must enter this key to unlock the recordings. This feature ensures the QR Code remains capable of both accepting new recordings and granting access to existing ones. To maintain confidentiality, each recording can be protected with question-and-answer encryption. This QR Code is unique to the subscriber's account.
