Paws for Friendship now has its own QR code.

A QR (Quick Response) code is a square filled with little designs that links to a website.  You have seen them in restaurants, real estate, and many other places.

The first of our QR codes links to our Square payment facility and is designed to accept donations.  When customers scan the QR code, they get taken directly to the Square online checkout page to pay.  No need to touch cash, credit cards, or a shared device. The whole transaction, from scanning the QR code to payment, all takes place on a customer’s phone.

For example, you can make a poster for your therapy event, and if someone wants to donate, all they have to do is scan the code with their phone.  This will take them to Square’s payment facility. 

Note: this code is NOT to be used for any payments on this website.

Our second QR code is used to provide a link to this website. Again, during a therapy event, a poster with the website QR code will take the person to our website and provide them with information on Paws for Friendship.

Sample Only

To use:

1.  Open phone camera

2.  Scan QR code

3.  Donate & pay

Click on a link for the QR code……it will download a Word document for your use.
