How to scan a shop QR code and start an order
A QR-first print ordering system: scan a shop code, upload a file, configure prints, pay. No app install, no account required.
What is HDPrint
HDPrint is a QR-first print ordering system for local print shops. A customer scans a permanent QR code displayed at a shop, opens a web page in their phone browser, uploads a file, chooses print options, and pays — without installing an app or creating an account for the basic flow.
The core idea
Instead of emailing a file to a shop, messaging it on WhatsApp, or handing over a USB drive, the shop counter displays one permanent QR code. That code opens a shop-specific ordering page on the HDPrint platform.
What the customer does
- Scan the QR code with the phone camera — no app needed.
- Upload a PDF, image, or Office document.
- Choose paper size, colour, copies, duplex, page range.
- Pay through the on-screen gateway.
- Receive a pickup code. Collect prints from the shop.
What the shop does
The shop runs a single desktop app (HDPrint Kiosk) showing incoming jobs. Accepted jobs spool to the configured printer automatically.
What you do not need
- No app install
- No account for basic ordering
- No driver configuration
- No email or chat exchange
- No hardware changes at the shop
