Tips for Using Your QR Code

When using your custom campaign QR code for fundraising, be sure to include instructions for those unfamiliar with QR codes.  We suggest including the following text:

OPEN your camera app
HOVER over the QR code
TAP the link that pops up
Make your donation!
If you are unable to scan, visit [donation page URL]

Consider including a short URL in the instructions. We will be happy to create a short code for you, simply reach out to us at support@cheqrpay.com and we will work with you to create the perfect short URL for your campaign.  By including the short URL, any donor unable to scan using their device can simply key the shortened URL into their mobile browser to access your donation page quickly.  Compare the URLs in this example:

CheqrPay URL:  https://app.cheqrpay.com/donation/p5b3lb3h0mcs6pdikhq
Shortened URL:  https://cheqr.fund/powerten

Both URLs lead to the same page, but the shortened URL is much easier to type into a browser (and will look better when posted on social media).

For on-site fundraising, you can designate one or more volunteers to help those unable to scan.  Text the volunteer(s) the URL link to your CheqrPay donation page (download the link from your dashboard or use the short URL we created).  If someone is having an issue scanning the QR code, the volunteer can request the participant’s cell phone number and forward the link to them via text.  The participant then clicks on the text link to access your donation page.

We want your feedback!  Let us know how we can continue to make giving quick and easy.
