What tools and platforms can we use to run scan-to-enter competitions at point of sale?

Members have taken a range of approaches, from DIY to more structured solutions. Most have kept things simple rather than investing in dedicated competition platforms:

- **Google Forms + QR code** — The most common approach members use. Link a QR code at POS directly to a Google Form for entry. Simple, free, and works for basic scan-to-enter mechanics. - **Shopify landing pages** — Create a dedicated Shopify page accessible only via QR code, then close it after the event ends. Useful if you already have Shopify infrastructure. - **Newsletter signup + competition hybrid** — Combine the QR scan with a newsletter subscription and competition entry on the same landing page (e.g. "Scan to enter to win a free bottle").

Members note they've been "quite scrappy" with these approaches rather than seeking out dedicated competition platform software. No member mentioned using paid competition management tools, suggesting the group defaults to low-cost, improvised solutions using tools they already have (Google, Shopify).
