Pledge It offers a built in solution for generating QR codes that can help you and your supporters share your campaign. QR codes can be easily pulled up on a device for others to scan or be downloaded and used for promotional flyers, signs, and more.
The option to generate a QR code will appear to supporters when clicking the Share button on a public campaign page, fundraiser page, or team page. Admins can also generate QR codes for their campaign, program page, or silent auction by clicking the Share button located in their campaign dashboard, program dashboard, or silent auction dashboard. The Share button launches the QR code generator as well as other sharing methods.
Note: The QR code will be available for download as .PNG file that can be saved to your device.
Tip: When using our Silent Auction feature, there is also built-in functionality to generate QR code bid sheets for item listings in addition to using the Share option to access a QR code for the silent auction landing page.
QR Codes for Fundraiser and Team Pages
Every fundraiser and team page on Pledge It features a Share button that can be used by viewer to quickly generate a QR code. On fundraiser and team pages, the Share option is located directly below the Join and/or Donate buttons.
Generate QR Code from Admin Dashboard
Admins can generate a QR code for their campaign page or program page by clicking the Share button located in the top right corner of their campaign page or program page.
If using the Silent Auction feature, you can also generate a QR code just for the Silent Auction landing page by visiting the Silent Auction dashboard within your campaign and clicking Share.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the QR code I generated previously leading to a 404 Not Found page?
This can happen if the URL was updated after the QR code was generated. Whether or not the QR code will work after your URL is changed depends on when it was generated and if a vanity URL was in use.
If a vanity URL was not set at the time the QR code was generated, the QR code will use the default assigned URL for the page. This default URL will always work, even if a vanity URL is added later.
If a vanity URL was customized, a QR code was made, then the vanity URL was updated, the previously generated QR code would lead to a broken link.
