Why use a QR code for your guidebook?

A QR code gives guests instant access to your guidebook without you having to send a link or explain where to find it. Once it’s printed and displayed, it works around the clock.

Cuts down on the questions you get during a stay
Gives every guest the same helpful experience
Works anywhere you can display a small printout, like a welcome book, a fridge magnet, or a frame by the door

Before you start: publish your guidebook

You can only generate a QR code once your guidebook is published. You can check the status right from your dashboard.

Look for the tag on your guidebook. If it’s green and says Published, you’re good to go. If it isn’t published yet, publish it first, then come back to this step.

How to create your QR code

Go to your guidebook in the dashboard.
Click the Share button.
Select Download QR code.
Your QR code downloads automatically.

That’s it. No extra setup, no design tools needed.

What to do with your QR code

Once you’ve downloaded it, you can print it out and display it somewhere in your property, so guests always have easy access to your guidebook

A printed QR code by the entrance, in the kitchen, or inside a welcome folder tends to get the most use.
