Create a QR code

Make a branded QR code that opens your booking page, review link or website, and download it to print.

A QR code on a business card, workshop slide or handout lets people book, review or sign up from their phone in seconds. When you're done, you'll have a code downloaded and tested.

Before you start

• Time: 5 minutes.
• Have ready: the full web address the code should open, for example your booking page, your main review link (see Set up your review links) or a free resource page. Open it in a private browser window first to make sure it works.
• Optional: your logo, for the middle of the code.

Steps

1. In the sidebar, under MARKETING, click QR Codes.
2. Click Create QR Code at the top right.
3. Choose Website as the type.
4. Give it a name you'll recognize later, like "Business card: booking page".
5. Paste the destination address. Include https://.
6. Style it: pick colors and marker shapes, and add your logo if you like.
7. Check the preview, then save it.
8. On the new card, click Download to get a PNG image.

Check it worked

• The new card shows your name, the type, the date and the destination address along the bottom.
• Scanning the downloaded image with your phone opens the right page.

If something's off

• It opens the wrong page. Read the destination line at the bottom of the card. Edit the code and fix the address, then download it again.
• It won't scan. Use more contrast between the code and background, make the logo smaller, or print it larger (at least about 2 cm or 1 inch wide).
• You want to know how many people scanned it. The cards don't show scan counts. Use a link you can track instead, such as a page only the code points to, and watch that page's visits.
• A type you want is greyed out. Use Website and point it at a page with the details.
• You changed the page address. The printed code still opens the old address. Edit the code's destination if you can, or keep the old address working.
