How do I view and promote my QR codes?

Watch the tutorial video below to learn how you can view and promote your QR codes.

  • If you click on the “Click to visit store” icon or the “Visit” button icon in the “Actions drop-down” you can access a password-protected version of your QR code.
  • This feature can help to prevent customers from scanning your QR codes when they shouldn’t (e.g. if they tried to scan your QR code to earn points without making a purchase).

 

ℹ️ Method 2 – Unprotected QR Codes:
