Podcasters, artists, and newsletter writers use Patreon for memberships — a QR on your zine, booth banner, or sticker sheet lets fans subscribe without hunting a bio link. Hosted QR SaaS charges ~$49/month for a static URL; you can generate the same PNG locally for free.
Get your Patreon page URL
- Log in at Patreon and open your public creator page
- Copy the URL from the address bar — it looks like
https://www.patreon.com/yourname - Optional: use
/membershipor/postsfor those sections
Examples:
https://www.patreon.com/creatorname
https://www.patreon.com/creatorname/membership
https://www.patreon.com/creatorname/posts
Encode the full HTTPS URL. Phone cameras open Patreon in the browser — one scan, straight to your membership tiers or latest post.
Tip: print the QR on zine inserts, convention booth cards, and merch stickers so supporters join without typing.
Why creators care
Bio links get buried. A printed QR on your art print, sticker pack, or booth sign turns a glance into a patron — no account required for the scanner.
