How to Create and Print QR Codes on Farmzz

QR codes turn every physical touchpoint — your market stand, product packaging, or roadside sign — into a subscriber capture tool. This guide shows you how to create, customize, and print your Farmzz QR code so customers can subscribe in seconds.

Step 1 — Go to the QR code section

Log in to your Farmzz dashboard and click QR Codes in the left sidebar. This is where you manage all your QR codes. If you have not created one yet, you will see an empty state with a prompt to create your first code. Click "Create QR code" to get started.

Step 2 — Name and customize your QR code

Give your QR code a descriptive name like "Market stand — summer 2026" or "Product label." This name is for your reference only and will not appear on the printed code. Next, customize the color of your QR code to match your farm branding. Farmzz lets you pick any color for the QR pattern while keeping the background white for maximum scannability. Darker colors on a light background always scan best — avoid light yellows or pale pastels that do not contrast enough.

Step 3 — Download your QR code

Once you are happy with the design, click Download. Farmzz generates a high-resolution PNG image that prints clearly at any size from a small product sticker to a large poster. The file is saved to your device and ready to print or send to a print shop. You can also download the same code again at any time from your QR code list.

Step 4 — Print at the right size

For product labels and small stickers, print the QR code at a minimum of 2 × 2 centimeters (about 1 inch square). For market signage and posters, go bigger — at least 10 × 10 centimeters. The larger the code, the easier it is to scan from a distance. If customers will be scanning from more than a meter away, such as on a roadside sign, print it at 15 centimeters or larger. Always test-scan a printed code with your own phone before putting it into use.

Where to place your QR codes

Market stand or kiosk. This is the highest-converting location. Place the QR code at eye level near your checkout area with a short line like "Scan to get notified when we harvest next." Customers who just made a purchase are the most likely to subscribe because they already trust your product.

Product packaging. Print the QR code directly on bags, boxes, or labels. A customer enjoying your produce at home is primed to want more. The code gives them a direct path back to you without needing to remember your name or search online.

Roadside signs and farm gate. A weather-resistant QR code on your entrance sign captures passersby and visitors. Use laminated paper or vinyl stickers for outdoor durability. Add a call-to-action like "Follow our harvest — scan here."

Flyers and community boards. Include your QR code on any printed material you distribute — event flyers, restaurant partnerships, CSA signup sheets. Every physical touchpoint is an opportunity to grow your subscriber list.

Tips for more scans

Always pair the QR code with a clear benefit statement. "Scan for fresh alerts" converts better than a bare code with no context. Place the code where customers already have their phone in hand — the checkout line is ideal. Consider creating multiple QR codes with different names to track which locations drive the most scans. Farmzz tracks each QR code's scan count in your dashboard so you can measure performance over time.

Frequently asked questions

Can I create more than one QR code?

Yes. You can create as many QR codes as you need. Many farms create separate codes for their market stand, product packaging, and signage to track which location drives the most subscriptions.

What happens when someone scans my QR code?

The scanner's phone opens your Farmzz farm profile page where they can instantly subscribe to your notifications by entering their phone number or email. The process takes about five seconds.

Do QR codes expire?

No. Your Farmzz QR codes remain active as long as your account is active. You do not need to reprint them unless you want to change the design or color.
