💡 Before you begin

You can prevent users without the QR code or URL from registering. To do this, go to Settings > Organisation Settings and set your organisation to hidden.

🎨 Set up QR code styling

This only needs to be done once:

1. Go to Resources > QR Codes > QR Styling
2. Set up the look and feel of your QR codes
3. You can read more about styling in this article: QR code styling

➕ Create your first QR code

1. Go to Resources > QR Codes > QR Codes (Hivepass)
2. Click New QR code
3. Select Registration as the type
4. Enter a name and description for the QR code (these can be changed later)
5. Click the Social Preview tab
   • ⚠️ The image and text here cannot be changed after the QR code is published
   • If you want to change the image, do so via the QR Code Style image before publishing (and remember to change it back after)
   • Enter a social title and description. This content will appear:

   • When the link is shared in a social app

     

   • On the iOS App Store preview page (if the app isn't installed)

     

6. Click Publish and Save
7. You'll now see your new QR code listed on the QR Codes page

✅ Test your new QR code

Always test your new QR code before sharing:

1. Log out of the Hivepass mobile app
2. Open the QR code list page and note the counter for your QR code

1. Use your mobile device camera to scan the QR code from the Admin app > QR Code tab
2. Register a test user
3. Go back to the QR code list page and check that the counter on the list page has increased
4. Find the test user in the admin app, review their details, and delete the user

📣 Sharing your QR code

Physical locations

1. Find the QR you'd like the share in the QR code list page
2. Go to the QR Code tab for your published QR code
3. Download either:
   • QR code only - This is just the QR code. You can place this into your own custom design, flyer, or poster.
   • QR code with Call To Action (CTA) - Includes a pre-designed layout with title, subtitle, and editable call-to-action text. You can adjust the text and sizes using the tools on the left side of the screen.

Website

• Add the QR code image to your website
• Also include the registration URL (link) for mobile users (easier to tap than scan from a browser)

Email

• Send the QR code in an email to contacts
• Always include the QR code's URL so users can simply click if scanning is difficult on screen
