How to do a test upload before the wedding

Photo sharingAll plans

The single best thing you can do before printing anything is to be your own first guest: scan your QR code, upload a photo, and watch it appear in your gallery. It takes about 30 seconds, removes any doubt that the flow works, and (on the Free plan) earns you a 15% discount on activation.

Plan: All plans · Where: Overview → “Your one code” card

Before you start

  • Set your names and wedding date first; the discount prompt only appears once they’re in.
  • Have your phone ready; you’ll scan the code straight off your computer screen.

Steps

  1. Open the Overview. In the sidebar, click Overview. If you’re on the events list, you may also see a card that says See what your guests will see; clicking it lands here too.

  2. Scan your own code. Point your phone’s camera at the QR in the “Your one code” card and open the link. This is exactly what a guest at your reception will do: no app, no login.

  3. Upload a photo. On your page, tap the upload button (it’s labeled Upload Media unless you renamed it), pick any photo, add a caption if you like, and tap through Next and Upload. You’ll get a “Thank You!” screen when it’s done.

  4. Watch it land. Back in your dashboard, open Photos & video in the sidebar. Your test photo is in the gallery. This is where every guest upload will live.

  5. Collect your 15% reward. On the Free plan, your first photo triggers a “Your first memory is live!” popup with a personal discount code. Click Copy, then use it at checkout, or click Activate now & save 15% to apply it right away. The code is valid for 14 days.

  6. Optional: delete the test photo. In Photos & video, hover the photo and click the trash icon. Your gallery starts clean for the real day.

What you should see

A photo that traveled the full loop: phone camera → QR scan → browser upload → your gallery. If that worked for you, it will work for a hundred guests at once on the day.

If something goes wrong

  • The discount popup didn’t appear. It shows on the Free plan only, and only if your event has a name and date set. Refresh the events list; if photos exist but no code was issued, the popup appears then.
  • Upload stalls inside Instagram or Facebook’s browser. Open the link in Safari or Chrome instead. In-app browsers sometimes hand Wedibox an unreadable file.
