Hi – I would like to be able to add a QR code directly to the ticket notice email but currently this is not supported. I noticed this was brought up last March and is still not an option, can you please let me know when I will be able to do this? If there is a way to do this now that I do not know of, I’m all ears!

Hi there,
Currently, Event Espresso uses a JS library to generate the QR codes in the browser so the QR codes are generated on the page and not actually saved within EE. Without including the library within the email we can’t generate those QR codes and most clients will not execute any JS from within an email.
You could use Google Charts to generate the QR’s within an email:
https://eventespresso.com/wiki/custom-qr-codes-for-tickets/
However, Google have depreciated that API so eventually it will stop working.
There are others such as: http://open.visualead.com/
The ticket notice also does not currently have access to the shortcodes for you to include the correct details within the QR code to match the EE QR’s say for scanning directly from the Ticket Notice email, so you would also need some custom development to add a shortcode to the ticket notice that pulled that info.
We do have a ticket to investigate switching to a PHP Library which would be half of the battle for the above however, we are currently working on other areas of the plugin/features with much higher numbers of requests than the above.
