2. Find and click on your event
3. Look for the public event link or registration URL

Step 3: Use Your QR Code

Place your QR code on:

• Flyers and posters: For physical locations
• Business cards: For networking events
• Social media: As part of promotional graphics
• Email signatures: Easy registration access
• Signage: At your studio or venue

Tips for Effective QR Codes

• Test it first: Scan the QR code with your phone to verify it works
• Make it big enough: At least 1 inch x 1 inch for printed materials
• Add context: Include text like "Scan to Register" near the QR code
• High contrast: Use dark colors on light backgrounds for best scanning
• Don't stretch it: Keep the QR code square, not distorted

What Happens When Someone Scans

1. Their phone camera detects the QR code
2. They tap the notification/link
3. They're taken directly to your event registration page
4. They can register immediately

Creating QR Codes for Other Pages

You can create QR codes for any Zipper URL:

• Products page: /o/your-org/products
• Schedule/classes: /o/your-org/schedule
• Appointment booking: /o/your-org/appointments
• Gift card purchase: /o/your-org/gift-card

Just copy the URL and generate a QR code the same way.

Tracking QR Code Scans

If you want to track how many people scan your QR code:

1. Use a URL shortener with analytics (like Bitly)
2. Create a shortened link for your event URL
3. Generate the QR code using the shortened link
4. View scan statistics in the URL shortener's dashboard
