Add a Personalized QR Code to Your Bulk-Generated Documents

Event tickets, access badges, or business cards: learn how to automatically insert a unique QR code for each row of your Excel file.

Adding a personalized QR code to bulk-generated documents means linking a column of your Excel file (a link, an ID, a vCard) to a QR code field on the template, so every PDF automatically gets its own valid, unique code.

QR codes on physical or digital documents have become essential. Whether it's an event ticket, a conference badge, or a membership card, a QR code instantly connects a printed document to a digital action.

How do you get a unique QR code per person?

The main challenge is personalization. How do you generate 200 invitations with a different QR code on each, without relying on tedious online generators and assembling everything by hand?

How do you automate QR codes with InOneShot?

InOneShot includes a native QR code generator. In your Excel file, just prepare a column containing the link or text the QR code should represent (a URL, a unique ID, or vCard info).

When setting up your template, simply drag and drop the "QR Code" field and link it to that column. During generation, InOneShot will instantly draw a valid, unique QR code onto every single PDF.

What are the most common use cases?

  • Events: Ticketing with scannable codes for access control.
  • Human Resources: Employee badges linking to the internal directory.
  • Nonprofits: Interactive membership cards for attendance tracking.
