Imagine transforming a simple poster, brochure, or exhibit label into an instant gateway to rich, immersive content. QR codes are the digital bridges that connect physical spaces with your STQRY app's storytelling experience.

Understanding QR Code Functionality

QR codes are the secret passages of digital storytelling. They transform ordinary physical spaces into interactive experiences that bring content to life right in the palm of your hand.

STQRY's QR code system makes sharing your content incredibly simple. With just a few steps, you can create instant access points that connect visitors directly to your tours and exhibits.

The system works by adding a built-in scanner button to your app. You can choose to place this button on the main view (app level) or create individual QR code access for each tour (tour level). Once you link content under Tabs, QR codes generate automatically.

How to Enable QR Code Function

To enable the QR code function in your app:

1. Log in to your STQRY account.

2. Navigate to the Project Overview and toggle "Enable QR Code Scanner" to enable a QR code scanner button for the entire app.

Alternatively, go to a tour Overview and enable "Enable QR Code Scanner" to add a QR code scanner button specifically for your tour.

Linking Content and Generating QR Codes

After enabling the QR code function, make sure you have linked content to the app:

1. Navigate to the Projects section and access the Tabs section within your app.

2. Link the desired content. Follow our instructions here if this is the first time you worked with the builder.

3. STQRY will automatically generate QR codes for the linked content. To find the list of QR codes, navigate to Projects, select your app, choose Submit then QR codes. Download the QR codes by clicking either on PNG or SVG.

How QR Codes Work in Practice

Visitors can scan these codes using their phone's camera, which immediately opens the mobile web version of your app. The magic happens seamlessly. Even if a tour hasn't been downloaded, users can access the content without any extra steps.

An added bonus? Reorganizing your tour stops won't break the QR code links. This means your content remains flexible and easy to update.
