Make the action and event unmistakable
A code beside “Register for the Saturday workshop” gives people a reason to scan. Include the event name, date, and a readable website address on the poster itself. Avoid making visitors scan merely to discover whether the event is relevant to them. If one event has several sessions, send visitors to a clear session-selection page rather than printing several unexplained codes.
Plan for updates and the end of registration
A printed QR code does not know that a venue changed or an event sold out. Keep the linked page useful by updating the event details and displaying a clear notice when registration closes. A stable page on your own website can point people to the current sign-up destination. The static QR guide explains what stays fixed inside the image.
Separate registration from admission
A public registration QR code is not a unique attendee ticket, an admission credential, or a check-in system. Do not print a private access token from an organizer account as the shared destination. Dotlane does not collect registrations, sell tickets, send reminders, or track scans. Choose and manage those features on the event website, then use the printing guide to check the physical sign.
A quick check for this use case.
- The link opens the public attendee page.
- The event date and location are correct.
- Registration works on a phone.
- The closed-registration page will remain informative.
