Test the sign where it will actually be used

  1. Generate the contact with a draft mentioning the window and add reply hours or an alternative contact.
  2. Place the code without folds or graphics on its margin. Behind glass, check reflections and print orientation.
  3. Scan the proof from outside at the intended distance under different lighting. Adjust position and size based on results.

Example to personalise

Hi, I saw your shop window and would like details about an item.

Check the result

A standard size cannot guarantee scanning through glass or film. The sign should stay useful while the shop is closed without promising an immediate reply. The QR does not check stock or reservations. Replace the sign after a number change; a printed code cannot update itself.
