QR Code Merchandise Table Payment Checklist
Merchandise tables use QR codes for shirts, programs, decals, hats, preorders, donations, receipts, and pickup lists. A consistent review routine helps volunteers catch wrong recipients, stale signs, and unclear order pages before buyers pay.
Merchandise table QR checklist
- Assign one owner for each QR code: school store, club sponsor, team, PTA, fundraiser lead, table captain, or approved vendor.
- Label the code purpose beside the sign: merchandise order, checkout payment, donation, preorder, receipt, catalog, or pickup.
- Confirm the item, posted price, total, payment recipient, receipt path, inventory note, and pickup or shipping detail.
- Preview the destination after printing, taping, moving, copying, and posting the QR code.
- Keep payment QR codes at staffed tables where volunteers can answer recipient and receipt questions.
- Print a typed fallback URL, known payment handle, or official contact path next to sensitive QR codes.
- Remove old signs when the event ends, the recipient changes, inventory sells out, or preorder windows close.

| Merchandise QR | Confirm | Escalate if |
|---|---|---|
| Checkout | Table, item, price, total, recipient, receipt | Money routes to an unfamiliar account |
| Preorder | Owner, item, size, deadline, pickup or shipping | The form asks for unrelated personal data |
| Receipt or pickup | Order number, table, contact, pickup window | The code opens a new payment or login page |

What buyers should see
Buyers should see the event or organization, table owner, item, price, recipient, receipt expectation, inventory or pickup detail, and a known contact. Avoid blank signs with only a QR code. If a QR code opens a payment app, buyers should still check the recipient before approving payment.
Frequently asked questions
What should merchandise table volunteers verify before posting a QR code?
Verify the code owner, item, price, recipient, receipt path, inventory or pickup detail, fallback option, and escalation contact.
Which merchandise table QR codes are highest risk?
Checkout, donation, preorder, pickup, receipt, and contact-information QR codes need extra review because they can request money or personal information.
Should merchandise tables include a typed fallback?
Yes. A typed URL, known payment handle, or official contact path helps buyers verify the destination without relying only on the QR code.
Can QRsafer approve a merchandise payment recipient?
No. QRsafer helps preview QR destinations before pages open, but the organizer, table owner, or seller must confirm the official payment recipient.
