Donation QR code for charities and fundraisers
One scan opens why to give and every way to give, from card to bank transfer.
A donation QR code opens a page that says what a gift makes possible, with buttons for your card payment link and PayPal and your bank details. Paste your donation page above for a free fixed code, or choose editable to build the page in the app and change the appeal for each campaign.

Questions and answers
Before you print
- Is it free?
- Fixed codes are free: make as many as you like, download a PNG with no sign-up, and get every other format and print files with a free account. Editable codes come with a plan, a pass, Keep-alive or the 14-day trial.
- Can I change the link after printing?
- Yes, with an editable code. It holds a short link you control, so you can point the printed code somewhere new any time, and the next scan opens the new page. A fixed code keeps the link it was made with.
- Can I use my own domain?
- Yes. A custom domain is included on passes, from Starter, and during the trial. Starter covers one subdomain, for example go.yourbrand.com, and apex domains start on Pro.
- What happens if I stop paying?
- Editable codes work to the end of your paid period, and after a failed payment every code keeps working for 14 days. Turn codes back on within 12 months. Fixed codes keep working as long as their links do.
How do I accept donations with a QR code?
Make a page with your payment links and bank details, then print a code that opens it. The Donation template starts the page for you.
Do you handle the money?
No. Donations go through your own payment links and bank account.
Can I use a SEPA transfer code instead?
Yes. The SEPA bank transfer type makes a fixed code that fills in the transfer in banking apps.
Can I change the appeal?
With an editable code, yes: update the page for each campaign and keep the printed boxes.
Can donors give monthly?
If your payment provider offers recurring gifts, link that option as its own button on the page.
Is it free?
A fixed code to your own donation page is free in SVG, PNG, JPG, WebP, PDF and EPS. Hosted donation pages need an editable code.
