Action Link / Donation QR Code – Create Yours Free

An action link / donation QR code is a dynamic QR that leads to a customizable mobile page where you can add buttons for donations, sign-ups, or calls to action. Unlike static QR codes, you can edit the page anytime without reprinting, and every scan is tracked in your dashboard.

How to create your action link/donation QR code in 3 minutes

  1. Step 1

    Pick your background image

    Upload a high-quality Cover Image that sets the emotional tone—a photo of your cause in action, a clean brand graphic, or a hopeful scene. This will fill the top of your landing card, so choose something that grabs attention and reinforces your message.

  2. Step 2

    Write your headline

    In the Heading field, craft a short, urgent statement like 'Support Clean Water for 1,000 Families' or 'Donate Now to Save the Shelter'. This is required, so make it clear and compelling—visitors should instantly know what they're supporting.

  3. Step 3

    Add a supporting line

    Use the Subheading field to add a brief tagline or data point, such as 'Every $10 provides a week of meals' or 'Join 500+ monthly donors'. This works as a quick emotional hook beneath your headline.

  4. Step 4

    Tell your story

    In the Description textarea, write 2–4 sentences that explain the impact, share a quick testimonial, or outline the need. Keep it scannable—you want to answer 'Why should I give?' without overwhelming the reader.

  5. Step 5

    Set your action buttons

    In the Action Buttons field, add at least one link—this is required. For a donation page, paste your giving link and label it 'Donate Now' or 'Give Monthly'. You can add a second button for 'Learn More' or 'Share This' to guide supporters further.

  6. Step 6

    Generate and test

    Once all fields are filled, generate your dynamic QR code from the app. Scan it yourself to see how the card looks on a phone—check that images load, links work, and the message flows. Because it's dynamic, you can edit the content anytime without reprinting.

  7. Step 7

    Print and place it

    Download your QR code as a high-res PNG or SVG and put it on flyers, posters, receipts, or donation jars. Since it's dynamic, you can later swap the Cover Image or update the donation link—like switching to a seasonal campaign—while the printed code stays active.

5 clever ways to use your action link/donation QR code (beyond the obvious)

Donation QR codes don't have to be one-note. With a dynamic template that updates behind the scenes, you can reuse the same printed code for entirely different purposes—no new stickers needed. Here are four creative spins on the Action Link / Donation template that go beyond the obvious ask.

Event welcome page

Event welcome page

Swap the Heading to "Welcome to the Gala" and the Subheading to "Tonight's program." Use the Description to list the schedule, and set the Action Buttons to link to a photo gallery and a donation page. Guests scan once at the door—no paper handout needed.

Membership renewal hub

Membership renewal hub

Set the Heading to "Renew Your Membership" and the Subheading to "It takes 2 minutes." In the Description, list the benefits of renewing, then use the Action Buttons for "Renew Now" (checkout link) and "Learn More" (benefits page). Perfect for a printed card in a welcome packet.

Volunteer signup portal

Volunteer signup portal

Change the Heading to "Volunteer With Us" and the Subheading to "Pick your shift." Use the Description to list volunteer roles, and set the Action Buttons to a signup form and a donation link. Print it on a flyer at community events—the dynamic code updates for each season.

Post-event feedback loop

Post-event feedback loop

After a fundraiser, update the Heading to "How Did We Do?" and the Subheading to "Share your thoughts." Use the Description to thank attendees, and set the Action Buttons to a survey and a "Donate Again" link. The same QR code on the event program now collects feedback.
