QR codes for laundromats, washers and dryers
Laundromat customers look at the machines and ask three things: how much, how do I pay, and how long does it take. A sticker on each machine with a code that opens the answer saves your attendant a hundred conversations a week.
Prices and instructions change. The stickers do not have to.
This is a dynamic QR code: $3 once, and you can change where it points at any time without reprinting. How that works
What should a laundromat QR code link to?
One clear action per sticker.
- Machine sticker: how to use this machine, price and cycle times.
- Wall sign: wash-and-fold prices and a pickup request form.
- Door: opening hours, rules, and a phone number for problems.
- Counter: a card to sign up for text alerts when a load is done.
Can a QR code be used to pay at a laundromat?
The code opens a web page, and that page can be a payment link from your payment provider if you set one up. ThreeDollarQRCode does not process the payments. Check your provider's rules for in-store payments and test with a small amount first.
How big should the code on a machine be?
Customers stand about 40 to 60 cm (16 to 24 inches) from the machine. A code 4 cm (1.6 inches) square on a matte sticker works. Place it on the front panel above the coin slot or control panel, away from the door glass.
| Placement | Size | Material |
|---|---|---|
| Machine panel | 4 cm (1.6 in) | Matte vinyl sticker |
| Wall sign | 10 cm (4 in) | Laminated card or plastic |
| Counter card | 3 cm (1.2 in) | Card stock |
How do I handle lost items and complaints with a QR code?
A code on the wall that opens a simple form (name, contact, what was lost) saves your attendant time. Add a clear notice about how long you keep items.
Example signs
Each example code opens threedollarqrcode.com. Your code can open any page you choose.
Questions
Do stickers survive steam and humidity?
Use vinyl rated for damp environments and press it flat.
What if my prices change?
Update the page the code opens.
Can customers get alerts when their load is done?
That depends on your system. Our code can open the sign-up page.
How do customers find the right machine's price?
Put a sticker on each machine, or one sign per bank of machines with a price table.
Can I show different prices for different times of day?
Yes. The page behind the code can show whatever you like, and you can change it any time.
Cost?
$3 once per code.
