What are QR Codes?
QR codes (aka quick response codes) are images that, when scanned on a phone or tablet, take a person to a specific website page. This means that your charity can use a QR code to quickly direct supporters to your charity’s profile page on JustGiving to donate. These would be great to use in fundraising packs, direct mail, posters and collection buckets.
Most modern phone can scan QR codes using their cameras. Once you have the app you can simply hold the camera in front of a code for two to three seconds and your phone will ask to re-direct you online.
Charity QR codes are free for charities registered on JustGiving. If your charity uses a Giving Checkout QR code you will receive 100% of the donation amount.
