How to use the Fundraiser QR Generator
Show real progress
Donors give more when they can see where the campaign stands. A progress bar turns an abstract goal into a visible gap that one more donation can close. Keep the numbers honest and current: the raised figure on your campaign page should match what you have actually received, and the preview here should be refreshed every time you print a new batch of posters. A progress bar that never moves looks abandoned, and an inflated one destroys trust when donors find out.
Where the code belongs
Fundraiser codes work anywhere people feel generous in the moment: event tables, collection boxes, community noticeboards, school gates, and the bottom of a newsletter. Pair the code with one line that says what the money buys, such as Every 25 buys a shelf of books, because a concrete outcome beats a bare total. Keep the code large enough to scan from a comfortable standing distance.
Testing before you print
Print a sample at the real size, stick it where it will actually live, and scan it with two different phones, one iPhone and one Android, in the real lighting. Check the whole journey: the campaign page should load quickly, show the right totals, and let someone donate without forcing an account. Keep the quiet zone around the code and print dark modules on a light background with strong contrast.
