Tips for nonprofits
Trust matters more than design. Make it obvious where the code goes.
-
Say where it leads — “Scan to donate” beats a bare code.
-
Use your own domain — supporters trust links that clearly belong to you.
-
Check the page on mobile — the donation flow must work on a phone in a few taps.
-
Track what works — use a different link per campaign so you can see which poster performs.
