Donation QR codes that bring gifts in
Church entrance, event table, noticeboard, bulletin. Supporters scan, land on your giving page, and you see which spot actually brought donations in, not just that someone scanned.

How to create a QR code for donations
A donation QR code lets supporters scan to donate on the spot, with no cash and no app. Copy the link to your giving page from Donorbox, Givebutter, GoFundMe, Tithe.ly, Zeffy, PayPal or a Stripe payment link, paste it above, and Scanlo generates a tracked QR code for donations you can put at the entrance, on the collection table and in the bulletin. Every scan is logged per placement, so you finally know which spot actually brings gifts in, instead of guessing.
How it works
- 1
Paste your donation page link and generate a tracked QR code.
- 2
Download it as PNG, SVG or PDF and put it where supporters actually stand: entrance, collection table, noticeboard, bulletin.
- 3
Or paste the Scanlo snippet to show the same code live on your website, on your giving page for example.
- 4
Every scan routes through Scanlo to your donation page and is logged.
- 5
Compare scans per placement so next year’s appeal goes where the giving already happens.
Questions
- Which donation platforms work with this?
- Any platform with a public giving link: Donorbox, Givebutter, GoFundMe, Tithe.ly, Zeffy, Every.org, a PayPal donate link or a Stripe payment link. Scanlo points at whatever page you already collect on.
- Does Scanlo touch the donation?
- No. The code redirects to your giving page. The donation, the receipt and the gift-aid or tax paperwork all stay with your donation platform. Scanlo only counts the scan.
- Can I use a different code for each placement?
- Yes, and it is the main reason to use Scanlo here. Give the entrance, the collection table and the bulletin their own code, then compare them. The Free plan covers 2 codes, and Standard covers 20, which is usually enough for a parish or a small charity to cover every spot plus its annual events.
- What if we switch donation platform or run a new appeal?
- Edit the destination in Scanlo and every code already printed points to the new page instantly. Bulletins, banners and window stickers from last year keep working, so a platform change or a new campaign costs you nothing in reprinting.
- Can I put the donation QR code on our website?
- Yes. Paste the Scanlo snippet into your site and the same tracked code shows up live. On a computer people scan it with their phone, on a phone they tap it, and both land on your giving page. Your dashboard counts website taps separately from the printed codes, so you can see whether your site or the noticeboard brings more gifts. Included on every plan.
- Is the donation QR code free?
- Yes. The Free plan includes 2 tracked codes forever, with scan totals and 30-day history. No card required.
- Does the code keep working if we stop paying?
- Always. A printed Scanlo code keeps redirecting forever, on any plan. We never disable a printed code, so a banner or a bulletin from two years ago still works.
