Where it earns attention

Designed for
real customer behavior.

The best format depends on where customers pause, what they value in that moment, and what your team wants permission to do next.

Counter & checkout

Catch the moment after purchase without adding equipment to the floor.

Give seated customers a self-guided experience during natural wait time.

Consent belongs in the design

Clear choices.
Useful data.

Photo delivery and future marketing permission should never feel hidden. We design explicit choices, policy links, practical exports, and campaign language around the approved program.

QR Photo Experiences questions

Know before
we build.

01Does the customer need to download an app?+

No. The experience opens in a mobile browser from the QR code, so customers can participate without installing an app.

02Can one campaign use several QR codes?+

Yes. The same experience can appear in several placements, and separately tracked entry points can be scoped when the campaign needs placement-level insight.

03Can customers upload an existing photo?+

Yes. The journey can use a live camera capture, an uploaded image, or both depending on the concept and device flow.

04What is included in the $199 monthly starting plan?+

The entry software plan includes one branded mobile experience, one active campaign, consent-based email capture, branded delivery, data export, and remote support. SMS, custom AI development, advanced integrations, and physical production are separate.
