This post was updated in October 2023 with new instructions on how to use JustGiving’s QR codes.

Charities, teams, and fundraisers can use QR codes to quickly and easily send fundraisers and donors to Campaign Pages and Fundraising Pages.

Most modern phones can scan QR codes directly from their built-in camera. When someone scans a QR code (aka quick response codes) with their mobile device, it takes them directly to a specific web page.

For charities, QR codes can be used in direct mail, fundraising packs, stickers, or digital communications like emails. This can help you capture donations at times when people are engaging with your cause.

QR codes for Campaign Pages

Creating your own Campaign Page QR code is easy and only takes a few seconds. All you need to do is add “/qrcode” at the end of your campaign URL!

For example, if your Campaign Page url is:

www.justgiving.com/campaign/CupcakeDay2020

Just type /qrcode at the end so it looks like

www.justgiving.com/campaign/CupcakeDay2020/QRCode

Your scannable code will then automatically appear on the page. If you’ve added your charity logo to your JustGiving account, it will appear in the centre.

Now all you need to do is right click on the code and save it as an image on your computer. You can use the code as many times as you want whilst your Campaign Page is open and accepting donations.

QR codes for Fundraising Pages

Your supporters can also get in on the action and make QR codes for their Fundraising Pages.

There are lots of creative ways that they can share their code, such as on social media, or even printing it out and sticking it to their car’s window.

Fundraising Page QR codes can be created in two different ways.

If the Fundraising Page’s URL starts with www.justgiving.com/fundraising/

Simply add ‘/qrcode/’ at the end of the URL in the address bar to get the page’s unique QR code.

If the Fundraising Page’s URL starts with www.justgiving.com/page/

Simply add ‘/qrcode/’ at the end of the URL in the address bar to get the page’s unique QR code.

1. Log in to JustGiving and go to your page
2. Click ‘Edit your page’ in the top-left corner of your screen
3. Click on the ‘Share’ tab on the left of your screen
4. Select the QR symbol (the last symbol on the right, next to the envelope email symbol)
