How Do I Set Up the POAP Kiosk to Distribute Mint Links via Unique QR Codes? – POAP Help Center

-- 2 minute read

In this article you will learn how to set up a POAP Kiosk to distribute mint links through unique QR codes. It covers four steps: accessing the POAP Kiosk site, uploading a "links.txt" file with mint links, confirming event details, and retrieving QR code links for distribution. The QR codes can be shared in-person or via screenshare. Users can also access an admin link to manage or delete the kiosk.

Step 1

To begin, navigate to the POAP Kiosk page and click the "Create POAP Kiosk" button on the lower left-hand side of the page.

Step 2

Upload the links.txt file containing your mint links, which you should have received after your drop was reviewed by the POAP Curation Body. If you have not yet set up a drop, you can do so by following our guide: "How to Create a POAP Drop?"

On the page that follows, you'll see that the information from your drop has been pulled in automatically.

Enter your email in the bottom field and click "Create event with 15 codes" to continue.

Step 4

Once the next page loads, you will see two fields, each containing a link. The first link takes you to the page that displays your single-use QR codes in sequential order as they are scanned. Please note: sharing this link directly with collectors, or embedding the link directly on a website, is not a proper use of this distribution method. You should only share the QR codes on the page (not the URL) via a device (for in-person events) or a screenshare (for online livestreams).

The second link takes you back to this edit page at any time, where you may retrieve the link mentioned above or delete the POAP Kiosk altogether. This link should also never be shared with the public.
