How to create and share your fundraising page QR code

How to generate, download, and share a QR code for your givestar fundraising page — on web or the app.

A QR code is a great way to share your fundraising page in the real world — print it on flyers, add it to presentations, or display it at events so people can donate instantly by scanning it with their phone.

Generate a QR code on givestar.io

  1. Go to givestar.io and sign in

  2. Go to Your Fundraising and open your fundraising page

  3. Scroll down to the Donation Summary section at the bottom of the page

  4. Click Generate QR Code

  5. Download or share your QR code directly from there

Generate a QR code on the givestar app

  1. Open the app and tap Fundraise in the bottom menu

  2. Select your fundraising page

  3. Tap the Share button

  4. Tap QR code

  5. Save or share your QR code from the options shown

You can also access your QR code by tapping the three dots (⋯) in the top right corner of your page and selecting QR Code.

Tips for using your QR code

  • Print it on flyers, posters, or event programmes so people can donate on the spot

  • Add it to a PowerPoint or presentation slide for fundraising events

  • Share a digital version on social media alongside your page link for maximum reach

  • Test your QR code by scanning it yourself before printing to make sure it works

QR code not working?

If your QR code isn't scanning correctly, try the following:

  • Make sure the image is large enough and printed clearly — a minimum of 2.5cm × 2.5cm is recommended for print

  • Avoid placing the QR code on busy or dark backgrounds

  • If the link has changed (e.g. you deleted and recreated your page), generate a fresh QR code as the old one will no longer work
