Buy Valentine’s Day Flowers Using QR codes

Many retailers feel overwhelmed during holidays. One way to handle an overflow of business is to use QR codes as virtual sales assistants.

When your employees are busy, or still in training, your customers can scan QR codes to learn more about your products and can even place orders and make payments. You can also use this to extend your physical shop by placing the ordering QR Codes in other places as shopping walls.

Qryptal customer, Xpressflower.com has been using these shopping QR Codes for over a year now. Xpressflower.com is a major florist based in Singapore with 13 outlets spread all over the island.




Since we are approaching Valentine's day, I thought of sharing the mechanics of this special project.

In the backend, a QR Code shop is configured and unique QR Codes are generated for every outlet. This is done to enable order tracking so that proper credit can be provided to sales staff at every outlet and incentivize them to promote this new system rather than use traditional manual processing of orders.

The prices for items, categories, available delivery slots, payment integration are also configured in the backend. The slideshow below walks you through the scenario of a consumer scanning the code and ordering them.





The system has been working well and we are adding a few more features like self-collection.
