Artwork

Services

  • ZXing Decoder – no smartphone at hand? take a screenshot of a QR code & upload it to this page to check if it works.
  • DMCinfo has a page to generate the code for a vCard or MECARD QR code. The ZXing site has a similar tool.
  • Chat services: Zendesk Chat and Olark chat services can be integrated in the home page of a web-to-print store. Only these two have been tested but other chat services may work just as well.
  • Newsletters: MailChimp is one of the many email marketing services that enable you to integrate a newsletter subscription page to a store. This page explains why email marketing is the key to ecommerce success.
  • For link validation use Open Site Explorer to check incoming links to a public store.
  • The Google URL builder makes it easy to use UTM-codes so you can track the success of e-mail campaigns, tweets or other links using Google Analytics.
