How do QR code song requests work?

The DJ creates an event and displays its QR code. A guest scans it with a phone camera, opens the event request page, searches for a song, and submits it to the DJ's private queue.

Do guests need to download a song request app?

No. DJ Request opens in a mobile browser. Guests do not need a native app or access to the DJ dashboard.

Does scanning the QR code guarantee that a song will be played?

No. The DJ keeps final control and can accept or decline every request based on the event, music library, timing, and crowd.

Can a QR code song request be free or paid?

Yes. The available setup depends on the DJ's plan and event settings. Eligible events can accept free requests or authorize paid requests that are captured only after DJ approval.

QR Code Song Requests for DJs

One scan sends guests to the right event page—no native guest app and no booth line.

DJ Request creates a digital request link and QR code for your event. Guests use their phone camera, search for a track, and send the request into a queue that only the DJ controls.

How to set up QR code song requests

You do not need to build a form or use a generic QR generator. DJ Request ties the code directly to your event's guest request page.

1
Create an event
Open the DJ dashboard, create the session, and confirm its request settings.
2
Get the QR code
Use the event's share tools to copy the link or open the printable QR poster.
3
Place it at the venue
Print it, show it on a screen, or add it to table signage where guests can reach it.
4
Manage the queue
Review each song in the dashboard and decide whether, when, and where it fits.

Where to place a DJ song request QR code

A working QR code still needs to be easy to discover and scan. Use a short instruction such as “Scan to request a song,” keep enough white space around the code, and test the final printed size from a guest's likely distance.

Near the DJ booth

Catch guests who are already walking over without forcing them to interrupt the set.

Table cards

Place a readable code at seated events so guests can participate without leaving the table.

Venue screens

Rotate the request prompt onto an existing TV or projector between other event visuals.

Direct event link

Share the same destination in a group message or event page when printed signage is not practical.

Plan for venue connectivity

Guests need an internet connection to open the request page. Test cellular reception and guest Wi-Fi at the actual QR-code locations before doors open.

QR request checklist before the event

Scan the final printed code with both an iPhone and Android phone when possible.
Confirm it opens the intended event—not an old test session or dashboard link.
Submit a test song and verify that it arrives in the DJ queue.
If payments are enabled, use the approved test-mode workflow before relying on it live.
Keep the direct event link available as a fallback if a camera has trouble scanning.
