So instead of typing your shop address manually they can now scan the QR and visit your shop directly.
So, eventually, you will make it easier for them to visit your shop and make their purchase.
2. On Thank You Cards
If you include thank you cards with your orders, you can use them as an opportunity to promote your Etsy shop by adding a QR code. Customers can scan the code and be taken straight to your shop or social media profiles to check out your other products.
3. On Shipping Boxes
Another great way to promote your Etsy shop is by adding a QR code to your shipping boxes. Customers can scan the code and be taken directly to your shop to see what other products you have to offer.
