How to Customize Your Artwork’s QR Code Widget in AWWRT
Quick Answer
The QR widget editor is where you manage your artwork’s QR page settings — controlling what appears on the public page a visitor sees after scanning the QR code next to an artwork. You can show or hide details like dimensions and price, write a short description, add a YouTube video, and turn on contact options like an enquiry form or WhatsApp chat. Every section has its own Save, and a top-level Edit/Preview toggle lets you check your changes before publishing.
When Should You Use This?
Use this whenever you’re preparing an artwork for display — in a studio, gallery, or exhibition — and want the QR label next to it to show the right information. It’s also worth revisiting whenever a price changes, a piece sells, you get a new artist video, or you want to start collecting enquiries from walk-in visitors instead of just fielding them in person.
Keep the following ready
- Artwork added, core details filled in
- Description (280 chars max)
- YouTube link
- Instagram handle (on profile)
- WhatsApp number (on profile)
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Open the artwork and go to its QR widget editor.
Step 2: Use the Edit/Preview toggle at the top to switch between configuring the widget and seeing exactly how it will look to a visitor.
Step 3: Under “Choose Details to show,” check every field you want visible — including price, availability, and location, which can all be shown together.
Step 4: Fill in and save each optional section you want to use — About work, YouTube video, Link — individually.
Step 5: Turn on the Enquire card, then choose which optional fields to add — Show Offer price, Show Mobile Number — and turn on WhatsApp Chat if you want it.
Step 6: Preview the page, then hit the main Save at the bottom to publish your changes.
Field explanations
Example Scenario
A gallery is preparing a group show. For each piece, the curator turns on artist name, dimensions, medium, and “Available” status, but leaves price hidden until sale terms are finalized. They add a 280-character description for each work, link the artist’s Instagram (already set on their profile), and turn on the Enquire card with mobile number and WhatsApp enabled so visitors can ask about pricing directly instead of an in-person conversation with gallery staff.
Adding an Instagram handle or WhatsApp number expecting it to show up immediately, without realizing it needs to be set on the profile page first.
- Mistaking the circle-shaped checkboxes for radio buttons and only checking one of price/availability/location when you meant to show several.
- Forgetting to hit the section-level Save (About work, YouTube, Link each save independently of the main Save button at the bottom).
- Publishing without switching to Preview first, especially after changing which details are shown.
What Happens Next?
Once saved, the QR code tied to that artwork immediately reflects the new configuration — no need to reprint or regenerate the code itself unless the artwork ID changes. Enquiries submitted through the form land in the Records section, under the Enquiry tab. Your dashboard also surfaces the 4 most recent enquiries at a glance.
FAQ
Can I show both a price and the “Available” status at once?
Yes — price, availability, and location are independent checkboxes, so any combination can display together.
Why isn’t my Instagram or WhatsApp showing up on the page?
Both are set on your profile page, not inside the widget editor. Add them there first.
Do I need to regenerate the QR code after editing the widget?
Final Takeaway
The QR widget editor gives you granular control over what a visitor sees and how they can reach you — the key is remembering that a few high-value fields (Instagram, WhatsApp) live on your profile page, not inside the widg
