4) Image & Content Guidelines
- Prefer clean, high-contrast QR images when exporting (PNG/PDF).
- Logo overlays (if you add in designs outside the plugin): keep logo within the center “quiet zone”.
- Recommended export sizes: 1024×1024 PNG for print (300 DPI advised) or vector PDF if available.
- Avoid illegal, harmful, or inappropriate content. See our Terms.
5) Find Your Google Place ID (for Reviews)
- Open Google Place ID Finder.
- Search your business name and select the correct location.
- Copy the Place ID shown.
- Paste it in the “Google Review (Place ID)” field when creating a QR.
Your QR will open the Google “Write a review” screen directly.
6) Tips
- Use unique aliases (e.g.,
my-shop-2025
) to avoid collisions. - For catalogues/social links, validate your JSON (proper quotes and commas).
- Keep an eye on scan counts; pause a code if a promotion ends.
