How to create a QR Code (and where to put them!)

Creating QR Codes just got easier! With your website's new, built-in QR Code generator, you can share a direct link to almost any of your webpages through printed materials. Read our Help Article to see just how simple it is to download a QR Code in just one click: How to create a QR Code.

Don't stop there! If you're wondering where to begin, here's a few ideas for how you can immediately implement QR Codes into your communications.

• Customize offertory envelopes or bulletin announcements with a QR Code that invites people to try online giving or make a recurring online gift to your parish.
• Print out a QR Code to place in your church pew that directs Mass-goers to the daily readings or other materials to use during the liturgy.
• Share a virtual tour or welcome video for your organization on mailers, postcards or welcome packets.
• Allow quick and easy registrations from a mobile device by sharing a QR Code on flyers, posters and brochures.
