E-Commerce for charity shop items using QR codes?

A CharityConnect User Posted 4 years ago

Hi All

Over lock down I have been helping a charity which relies heavily on the income from its physical shop to grow their online sales.

As part of this they have launched on a number of platforms and have their own online shop. With the shops aiming to be back open in April, and peoples new familiarity with QR codes, they would like to add stickers to items in store that are also online.

E.G. "You can buy me online too, take my picture incase you want to buy me later"
Then a QR Code.

I'm looking at ways to implement this so it is easy to setup and run for volunteers in the shops. Has anyone done this before or have any recomendations at all?

Hi James

It depends on the ecommerce solution you are using. Pretty sure there are plugins for both Shopify and WooCommerce which allow you to produce QR codes.

If you are using something else entirely, assuming every online item has a unique URL, why not just generate a QR code for each unique url? When customers access the QR code it will take them to that item's listing online (as QR code is just the URL). Pretty sure you could set something up like this in 30 mins using a combination of Zapier / IFTTT, Airtable and a QR code generation tool such as http://goqr.me/api/
