One QR code, printed once per station
Printing QR posters for a salon with multiple stations means downloading the same QR poster from the dashboard once and printing multiple copies — one for reception and one for each mirror station — rather than generating separate codes per station. Every copy points to the same enrollment link and the same card.
The reason to print more than one isn't a technical requirement, it's a placement one: a client sitting at a mirror station for forty minutes has more idle time to notice and scan a code than she does standing briefly at reception.
This is a natural follow-up once your reception poster is already working — adding station copies is a refinement on a working setup, not a fix for a broken one.
Sizing posters differently for different spots
Reception can support a slightly larger poster since there's more counter space and a client is often standing still while paying. Mirror stations usually need a smaller version, since the client is seated close to it and doesn't need distance-readable size.
Print quality matters more at a mirror station too — a poster gets touched, gestured near, and exposed to hair products at close range, so a laminated or plastic-sleeved copy holds up far better than plain paper. A cheap plain-paper print might last a week in a busy mirror station before it needs replacing, while a laminated one can go months.
- Reception: A5 or A4, laminated, flat near the card machine
- Mirror stations: smaller, laminated or sleeved for durability
- Waiting-area posters are optional and generally lower-value than the two above
- Replace mirror-station posters more often since they wear out faster
What the poster download screen shows
The dashboard's poster tool generates one downloadable PDF per program, with your logo already placed and a size option to fit different print needs.
You can download and print it as many times as you like at no extra cost — there's no per-poster charge, since it's the same static QR code every time.
| Location | Suggested size | Material |
|---|---|---|
| Reception counter | A5 or A4 | Laminated, flat |
| Mirror station | Small card size | Laminated or sleeved |
| Waiting area (optional) | A4 | Laminated, wall-mounted |
Printing for every station in five steps
This takes one trip to a print shop or one home printer session.
- Download the poster PDF once
It's the same file for every copy — the QR code doesn't change per station.
- Print a reception copy first
Confirm it's being scanned there before investing in station copies.
- Print one small copy per mirror station
Laminate each, since they're handled more roughly than the reception copy.
- Place them at a natural glance point
Near the mirror edge, not behind the stylist where the client can't see it.
- Replace worn copies promptly
A faded or peeling poster scans poorly and looks unkempt.
Station posters catch idle moments a counter poster misses
A client mid-treatment, waiting for color to set or a mask to work, has genuine idle time to scan a nearby code — time she doesn't have while paying at a busy reception.
Once she scans, the same automatic welcome message fires regardless of which poster she used, so there's no extra setup needed per station beyond printing and placement.
Printing extra posters costs nothing beyond paper
There's no charge inside Waya for downloading or printing additional copies of the same poster — the only cost is whatever your printer or print shop charges, which fits easily inside the Free plan's 0 SAR software cost. That makes multi-station printing an easy first upgrade to test even for a single-branch salon still on the Free plan, up to 100 customers and 100 messages a month.
One thing multiple posters don't change: they only handle enrollment. Waya has no POS integration, so a stamp still requires a staff member to scan the client's card at checkout, no matter how many posters are on the wall. Android merchant staff use the web dashboard for this today, since the Android app is currently in closed testing rather than a full public release.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a different QR code for each station?
No — it's the same QR code and the same PDF, downloaded once and printed as many times as you like. Every copy points to the same card.
Does Waya charge extra for printing multiple posters?
No — there's no per-poster charge inside Waya. The only cost is whatever your printer or print shop charges for the physical copies.
What size should a mirror-station poster be?
Smaller than a reception poster — since the client is seated close to it, a small laminated card-sized copy works better than a large sheet.
Why print more than one poster at all?
Clients have more idle time at a mirror station than at reception, which increases the chance they'll notice and scan the code during a treatment.
Do station posters need to be replaced often?
Yes, more often than a reception poster — they're handled more roughly and exposed to hair products, so laminating and periodic replacement matters.
