QR Code sharing

With version 7.1 or later, Sparkbooth can display a QR code for guests to access uploaded photos. An internet connection is required for this feature as the photos need to be uploaded before the QR code can be displayed. Here’s how to set it up:

1. Open Sparkbooth and navigate to the settings menu.
2. Under "Send to Account," select QR Codes.
3. Select your desired photo hosting service from the dropdown menu (e.g., Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.).
4. Click the "Configure" link and set up the specific settings for the chosen hosting service.

Once QR Code sharing is enabled and the photo hosting is configured, Sparkbooth will automatically upload each photo to the selected hosting service. After the photo is uploaded, Sparkbooth generates a QR code that links directly to the uploaded photo's URL. Guests can scan this QR code with their mobile device to view or download their photo immediately.
