Overview
Sharing a WiFi password, contact card, or download link in person usually means reading it out or asking people to type it in. The QR Code Widget from Common Ninja generates a QR code and displays it on your Squarespace site, covering links, contact details, WiFi access, file downloads, locations, and social profiles. Nine ready-made layouts pair the code with a title and description, and it installs on Squarespace 7.1 with a simple embed code.
QR codes bridge the gap between a screen and a phone. On a restaurant menu page, an event listing, or a contact page shown on a screen at your premises, a scannable code moves the visitor from looking to acting without any typing.
The QR Code Widget handles both the generation and the presentation. Pick the QR type you need, choose one of nine layouts, add a title and description beside the code, and embed the result on your Squarespace 7.1 site with a single code snippet. Updates made in the editor appear on the live site without reinstalling.
One honest note on placement: a QR code earns its keep where the page is viewed on one device and scanned with another. On a page someone is already reading on their phone, a plain link works better.

FAQs
FAQs
What does the QR Code Widget do?
It generates a QR code and displays it on your Squarespace site. You choose the QR type, such as a URL, WiFi credentials, phone number, email address, file download, location, or social profile, then pick one of nine layouts that pair the code with a title and description.
Do I need coding knowledge to install it?
No. You configure the code in Common Ninja's editor, copy a single embed code, and paste it into a code block on your Squarespace 7.1 site.
What can the QR code link to?
Supported types include website links, contact details, WiFi credentials, phone numbers, email addresses, file downloads, locations, and social profiles.
Where does a QR code make sense on a website?
On pages people view on one device while holding a phone: restaurant menus shown on screens, event pages, booking confirmations displayed at a venue, and similar in-person moments. On a page someone is already reading on their phone, a plain link works better.
Can I style it to match my site?
Yes. There are nine layouts, and you can adjust the title and description text shown beside the code.
Is the QR Code Widget free?
Common Ninja offers a free plan with usage limits and branding. Paid plans remove the branding and raise the limits; check the Common Ninja site for current pricing.
