What can a QR code from the Scalus app open?

Your website, your Google review link, a phone call, a text message with words ready to send, an email, your WiFi network so guests join without typing, or any link you like.

Will my QR code stop working?

Not because of us. The code holds your link itself, with nothing of ours in between, so it keeps working for as long as the link it opens does.

Can I use my own colours and logo?

Yes. Pick one of eight ready looks or your own colours for the code, the corners and the background, add a fade, choose the dot and corner shapes, and put your logo in the middle. The page warns you if the colours would be hard for a phone to read.

Make your own QR codes, in your brand colours

The QR codes page in the Scalus app on a computer and on a phone: a blue code reading Scan to book with the colour looks beside it, and a red dotted code reading Scan to visit our website

A QR code lives on the business card, the van, the counter and the flyer. I wanted every Scalus client to be able to make one in a minute, in their own colours, without signing up anywhere. So the Scalus app now makes them.

The problem

Most people grab a free QR site. The code comes out plain black and white, the nicer looks sit behind a paywall, and some of those sites send your code through their own link first, so it can stop working the day they decide it should. For a code printed on a van or a stack of cards, that is a real risk.

The result

There is now a QR codes page in the Scalus app, under Marketing campaign.

Pick what it opens. Your website, your Google review link, a call, a text, an email, your WiFi or any link. Where I already have your website or review link, it is filled in for you.
Your colours. Eight ready looks, or your own colours for the code, a fade, the corners and the background. There is a see through background too, for putting it on your own design.
Your style. Smooth, dotted or square, three corner shapes, your logo in the middle and a line underneath, like Scan to book.
It warns you. If the colours are too close for a phone camera to read, the page says so in plain words.
Save it your way. A PNG, or an SVG for print, on a computer. On a phone it opens the share sheet, and in the app you can save it straight to Photos.

Your code holds your link itself. Nothing of mine sits in between, so a code you print keeps working for as long as your link does.

Each business keeps its own design, so it is there next time you open the page. The screens above are the real app, shown on Scalus's own business. It is in the app now under Marketing campaign, for every client, with nothing to switch on.
