how it works page 2

Option 1: QR Code Triggers Website Discount Page

Flow:

  1. Customer sees the poster outside your store.
  2. They scan the QR code with their phone.
  3. webpage opens instantly on their phone with a special discount message like:“You’ve unlocked 15% off! Show this screen at checkout.”
  4. Customer walks into your shop, shows the screen, and the discount is applied manually (or scanned if there’s a POS promo code).

Why It’s Great:

  • No need to print multiple codes.
  • You can update the offer anytime on the backend.
  • Collect emails or signups on that page if desired.
  • Very simple for customers—no app, no confusion.

✅ Option 2: QR Code Scanned At Checkout for Discount

Flow:

  1. Customer sees the poster or flyer with the QR code.
  2. They don’t scan it right away—instead, bring it to the counter.
  3. At checkout, either:
    • Staff scan the QR from the poster to trigger the discount in your POS.
    • Or customer scans it on their phone (if they took a photo or the QR is printed on a flyer).

Why It’s Less Ideal:

  • Slows down checkout slightly.
  • Less interactive—no landing page to explain the offer or collect info.
  • Doesn’t engage the customer until after they’re already buying.

🔄 Recommended Hybrid (Best of Both Worlds)

Let the QR code:

  1. Open a branded, mobile-optimized landing page
  2. Show the discount message + instructions
  3. Optional: Collect email for future promotions
  4. Have staff honor the discount when they see that page

Example:

“Thanks for visiting! Show this screen at checkout for 10% off today’s purchase.”
