Frequently Asked Questions

What is an updateable (dynamic) QR code?
An updateable QR code allows you to change where the code points at any time behind the scenes, without having to generate a new barcode image or reprint your physical banners and flyers.
Do I have to reprint my materials to change the web link?
No! Since these codes are updateable, a single card in a seatback folder can point to your youth retreat sign-up today, and next month you can update it to point to VBS registration—all without reprinting.
Can I use my church's logo and colors?
Absolutely. You can input your specific church hex codes, adjust the shape style, and upload your own custom logo right into the center of the code.
Is this included in Outreach ONE?
Yes! The custom QR code generator is fully included as part of The Outreach ONE suite, meaning your church gets these powerful tools without any separate, expensive monthly subscriptions.
Can a QR code start a phone call or email?
Yes! Select the Call or Email QR type, and when scanned, it will automatically open the user's phone dialer with your church office number pre-filled, or draft a welcoming email template to your staff.
How does a WhatsApp QR code work?
A WhatsApp QR code instantly opens a direct chat with your church's designated mobile number, allowing visitors to message your team right away without having to manually save your number first.

Can I see how many people scan the code?
Yes, you can track scan counts directly inside your simple dashboard, helping you know which invites are working best in your community.
What is a Contact Card QR?
