How to make a QR code for your shop
A good shop QR code opens something useful: your catalogue, a WhatsApp order chat, a UPI payment page or your Google reviews. Here is how to pick the right one and place it where customers actually scan.
Step 1: Decide what the QR should open
Step 2: Make it
For one action, use a free generator above. For everything in one place, make a free shop page; its QR never changes, even when you update prices.
Step 3: Print it the right size
- Counter or table: at least 4 × 4 cm.
- Wall or door poster: 10 cm or more.
- Leave a white border around the code.
- Dark code on a light background scans best.
Step 4: Tell people why to scan
A QR alone gets few scans. Add a clear line: “Scan to order on WhatsApp”, “Scan to pay”, “Scan for today’s offers”.
Mistakes to avoid
- Linking to a page that changes, then reprinting every time.
- Printing too small or on shiny material that reflects light.
- Not testing with two different phones before printing.
