QR Code Merge Tags

Gravity Forms QR Code can turn any field’s value into a QR code with the :qr merge tag modifier. Simply add it to any merge tag in any place field merge tags are supported, such as Confirmations and Notifications. When the merge tag is rendered, instead of showing the field’s value it will show a QR code of that value.
