This article explains how you can use QR codes to increase sales, and how to create (or in some cases, download) for your fundraiser.
What is a QR Code?
A QR Code is a barcode of sorts that directs you to a URL. The below example will take you to our Trellis website. Try it out by opening your smartphone's camera, and aiming it at the QR code, and then you will see a webpage link open up.

Can Trellis Generate a QR Code?
There are a few places where Trellis pre-generates a QR code for a page. This includes:
- For the main fundraising page: these can be found under Fundraiser Settings > Social Sharing
- For silent auction items: these can only be found on the silent auction item print out sheet.
- For Fund a Need donations: this QR code is found on the Simple Fund a Need Live Event View.
We do not have a QR code generation feature outside of these instances.
How to generate a QR code for the Trellis page?
It's easy to generate QR codes for free using 3rd Party generators.
The easiest tool you can use the Google Chrome's built-in QR code generator.
- Open the webpage using Google Chrome.
- Right click on the page.
- Select "Create QR Code for this Page"
- A QR code appears in the webpage that you can copy or download.
If using a 3rd Party Generator:
- Navigate to the page you want to direct your donors to
- Copy and paste the URL of that page into a QR code generator
