What to put behind the code
The organisation’s official donation page with recipient identity and contact details.
Print for the place it will live
Starting size: 3 × 3 cm. This is a starting point, not a scanning guarantee. Put the code where a visitor can pause without blocking an aisle.
Use a stable matte sign and check it regularly for added stickers. Keep the four-module quiet zone intact and use dark modules on a light background. Read the print-size guide.
Where to place it
- Welcome desk
- Giving card
- Programme donation panel
Mistakes to avoid
- Claiming a scan completes a donation
- Obscuring recipient details
- Replacing all nondigital giving options
Before committing to a print run
Print a proof on the final material. Scan it with more than one phone, from the normal viewing position. Check the opened destination while signed out and confirm it leads to the intended page or action. A readable fallback address or contact detail helps visitors who cannot scan.
