Using QR Codes
Learn the QR workflow from your jar's QR code to printing, wallet support, scanning, and giving.
Using QR Codes
Every jar gets its own QR code as soon as it's created. That QR code connects a real-world moment to the mobile-first Kharisma webapp.
This page walks through the full QR workflow in practical terms. For QR code types, print formats, and placement details, see the QR Codes reference page.
The QR workflow
- Your jar's QR code is ready right after you create the jar
- Download or print it from the dashboard
- Add it to a wallet where available
- Someone scans the QR code
- Kharisma opens in the browser
- They tip, donate, or pay
- A receipt is issued where available
What you can do with your QR code
- copy and share the QR code link
- download it
- print it
- generate sizes like
2x2and3x4 - add it to mobile wallets where available
- manage and control where it points
Good places to use it
QR codes work well on:
- tables
- signs
- flyers
- counters
- menus
- event materials
- wallet passes
What people experience
People don't need to install anything.
They scan the code and continue directly in the browser.
If the QR code points to a Shared Jar, the flow shows the linked jars so the giver can choose.
