To generate a PDF with a QR code, you will need to configure the product using the Flexible PDF Coupons PRO plugin settings. See how to do it →.
During setup, select the Coupon template containing the QR code (screenshot above).
The purchase of a product marked as PDF Coupon, will create a WooCommerce coupon code, which will also be a QR code.
[box type="info-box-info"]The Flexible Coupons plugin will create a coupon code each time a ticket is purchased, which can then be used in-store. If you want this to be disabled, limit the coupon to one product, e.g., with stock zeroed out[/box]
