== Description ==
Generates QR codes for Woocommerce orders automatically / dynamically and inserts them into every Woocommerce email, PDF invoice and POS receipt.
Also you can use QR Codes (Google API or QR Code Lib) anywhere in your blog, using Widget, using Tooltip, using Shortcode or even with a PHP function or in any other place.
QR code images also compatible with Gmail (not cutted).
<b>These plugins are already supported out of the box:</b>
WooCommerce (All order emails)
WooCommerce PDF Invoices & Packing Slips (Emails + Files)
Kadence WooCommerce Email Designer (Emails)
YITH Point of Sale for WooCommerce (Receipts)
In accordance with current legal requirements (Due Covid-19 in some countries), we have created a standard customer data template:
The data for the template is generated dynamically based on the data from each order in WooCommerce.
At the same time, we left the opportunity for you to create QR codes based on your specified static data. Use one of 3 methods: shortcode, widget or tooltip.
Instructions for developers are provided to place QR codes inside any place in the template of your Wordpress-based website.
The dynamic data of the template is shown in brackets:
{Customer First Name} {Customer Family Name}
TOTAL AMOUNT {$39.10} - Total order amount from Woocommerce
VAT AMOUNT {$5.10} - Total Tax order amount from Woocommerce
VAT NUMBER {xxxxxxxx} (you can change it in admin: Goto Wordpress Admin -> Settings -> QR code Tag from Goaskle.com) -> Enter yours there
DATE {03/11/2021} - Order date (created) from Woocommerce
TIME {19:03} - Order time (created) from Woocommerce
{https://yourdomain.com} - Your domain where this Woocommerce order was created.
For example:
Anton Klimko
TOTAL AMOUNT $39.10
VAT AMOUNT $5.10
VAT NUMBER 1235ABN457
DATE 03/11/2021
TIME 19:03
