eDirectory - Support Center

Introduction

Sponsors (users) can create deals with QR codes to provide their clients with a seamless redemption experience. Instead of using a random or unique code, they now have the option to upload a QR code that customers can scan to redeem their deals easily. Below are the steps to add a QR code to a deal on eDirectory.

Steps to Add a QR Code to a Deal

From version v13.1.00 on, it is possible to upload a QR code image for deal redemption instead of just using a random or unique code. (If you would like to set a unique or random code instead, check this article: How to define the redeem deals code as random or unique.)

1. Access the Deal Edit Page

• Log in to your Site Manager (sitemgr) account.

• Navigate to Content > Deals section.

• Select the deal you want to edit or create a new deal.

2. Upload a QR Code

• Locate the “Redeem Code Options” section.

• Click the option to add a QR code.

• Upload an image file from your device.

Notice: eDirectory does not generate QR codes by default. This option allows you to upload a QR code image that has already been created using a third-party platform. You can find various online tools that can help you generate a QR code, which you can then add to your deal.

3. Configure Additional Settings

• You can choose to add a random or a unique redeem code alongside the QR code.

• Ensure all other deal details are correctly configured.

• Save the changes.   

4. How It Appears on the Front-End

• When a visitor redeems the deal, the QR code will be displayed.

• The visitor can scan the QR code to proceed with redemption.

Important Notes:
1. The sponsor  (deal owner) is responsible for providing the QR code image.
2. eDirectory does not generate QR codes but allows sponsors to upload an image to be displayed on the deal redemption page.

Conclusion

Adding a QR code to a deal enhances the redemption process by making it quick and convenient for customers. By following the steps above, sponsors can easily configure QR codes for their deals. If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to contact our support team.
