QR codes for calendars, services and rentals make it easy to send customers straight to your booking pages. In ZipLeads, you can create QR codes for supported booking destinations. You can also use prebuilt QR codes straight from the calendar, service or rental itself. Prebuilt QR codes are already linked to their destinations. They give you quick access to scan activity, design options and downloads. This guide explains how to create, access, customise and manage these QR codes in ZipLeads.
What are QR codes for calendars, services and rentals?
These QR codes let customers open a supported booking or scheduling page by scanning a QR code.
You can create QR codes with the ZipLeads QR Code Builder. You can also use the prebuilt QR codes that come with supported calendars, services and rentals.
Prebuilt QR codes are connected to their destinations automatically. You don't need to create and set up a separate QR code for each booking page.
