A QR or “Quick Response” code is a type of barcode you can scan with your mobile device’s camera to instantly open up a link on your phone’s browser. Creating a QR code for an ActBlue contribution form allows you to put a donation link anywhere that you could paste an image: flyers, yard signs, business cards, and more.
Downloading a QR code from the Contribution Forms page
To get started, head to your Contribution Forms page. Identify the form you want a QR code for and select the three dots under “Actions.” Click “Download QR code.”
A pop-up will prompt you to name and save your QR code. Click “Save.”
The QR code will download and upload as a PNG, so you can add it to anything you can add an image to.
Your downloaded QR Code should look something like this:
