Frequently Asked Questions

Do guests need a special app to scan?

No! All modern smartphones (iPhone and Android) can scan QR codes using the built-in camera app. Just point and shoot.

Can I customise the QR code design?

The QR code pattern itself needs to stay as-is to work properly, but you can add your property name, logo, or decorative frame around it.

What if I update my guidebook?

The beautiful thing about QR codes is they're just a link. When you update your guidebook, the QR code automatically shows the new version. No need to reprint!

How big should I print the QR code?

We recommend at least 2 inches (5cm) square for easy scanning. Bigger is better, a 4-inch square works great for wall displays.
