QR Code for Patreon & Membership Pages
The merch table moment where a fan becomes a patron.
The best second to pitch your Patreon is when someone is standing in front of you saying they love your work - at the con table, after the show, at the zine fair. A QR code on your banner, prints, or packaging captures it: one scan opens your membership page with the tiers right there. It beats "look me up later" every time. Dynamic codes let the same printed banner push a launch discount this month and your standard page next month, and scan counts tell you which events actually mint members.
Why use a dynamic QR code for this
Catch the superfan moment
Table and stage-banner codes convert live enthusiasm into memberships before it cools on the drive home.
Merch that recruits
A code inside the print sleeve or on the sticker sheet keeps recruiting from the buyer's desk for years.
Platform freedom
Move from Patreon to Ko-fi or your own membership site later - the printed codes follow via one edit.
How to set it up

FAQ
Which converts better, profile or a specific tier?
The page with tiers visible usually wins - fans self-select. During a launch, point the code at the promo tier and switch back after; that's one edit on a dynamic code.
Can I tell which conventions pay off?
Yes - one code per event, and the scan analytics become a ledger of which tables were worth the fee.
Can I change where the QR code points after printing?
Yes - with a dynamic QR code. It encodes a short redirect link, so you can update the destination anytime from your dashboard and every printed copy instantly points to the new URL. Static codes encode the destination directly and can't be changed.
Do these QR codes expire?
No. Static QR codes are free forever and never expire - they encode your destination directly and don't depend on our servers. Dynamic codes keep working as long as your account is active, and you can pause or re-point them whenever you like.
Can I track how many people scan it?
Yes. Dynamic QR codes come with real-time scan analytics: total scans plus device, location, and time-of-day breakdowns, so you can see exactly which placement is working. Scan tracking is part of the Pro plan.
Is there a watermark on the QR code?
No. Every QR code you create - free or paid - is watermark-free and downloadable as a crisp PNG or scalable SVG, ready for print at any size.
Do I need an app to scan the code?
No. Every modern iPhone and Android camera scans QR codes natively - just point the camera at the code and tap the link that appears. No special app required.
