How to create custom branded QR codes
Overview
What is an Ambassador generated QR Code?
Generally, QR codes are barcodes that a person can scan with their mobile device to visit a website URL. This is especially helpful for in-person to offline experiences.
With that in mind, when someone enrolls and joins your referral campaign, the Ambassador system will automatically generate a unique QR Code that matches each campaign share link assigned to that newly enrolled ambassador. So each of your ambassadors have the choice of sharing their referral link with someone, or they can show them the QR Code to scan and it will act just like if they'd clicked on the referral link to redirect the referred-person to the campaign landing page and track the referral attribution.
If you are on an Ambassador Pro Plan or higher, you can have the QR Code customization tool enabled on your account. This feature allows you to create multiple QR Code styles and assign them to specific campaigns for consistent branding and enhance visual appeal. Each ambassador within a campaign will automatically see the assigned style of their personalized QR Code inside their Portal account and/or Refer-a-Friend widgets.
Step 1: Creating a QR Code Style
To create a new QR Code style:
- Navigate to Referral > QR Codes
- Click on Create QR Code to begin designing a new style
- Customize your QR Code using the available options:
- Add a logo
- Adjust colors
- Modify shapes and patterns
- Save
You can create a different style for each campaign.
Step 2: Assigning a QR Code Style to a Campaign
Next, you need to apply a QR Code style to a campaign:
- Go to an existing campaign or create a new one
- Within the Campaign Setup page, scroll to the bottom and look for QR code settings
- Select one of your available QR Code styles from the list
- Save your campaign to publish
Once selected, each ambassador within a campaign will automatically see the assigned style of their personalized QR Code inside their Portal account and/or Refer-a-Friend widgets.
