Everything you need to get started with the LeafCast LeafCast platform.

Visitor Experience

This is what visitors see when they scan one of your QR codes — whether using the Melur mobile app or their phone's built-in camera.

Botanical Reveal Page

Scanning a QR code opens a full-page botanical reveal at leafcast.melur.com/plants/{id}. The page is optimised for mobile and supports both dark mode and light mode with a toggle button.

Hero Image

The top portion of the page displays a full-width hero photo of the plant (if available).

If no photo has been uploaded for the species, a botanical-green placeholder with a leaf icon is shown instead.

Plant Name & Classification

The plant's common name is displayed in large EB Garamond serif font, with the scientific name in italic below it.

Language Pills (4 Languages)

Four language tabs are shown: BM (Malay), ENG (English), 中文 (Chinese), and தமிழ் (Tamil). Tapping a language pill instantly switches the plant name, description, and other botanical text.

Vendor Section (Paid Plans Only)

Visitors with paid-plan QR codes see a vendor card containing:

  • Business logo — your uploaded logo (if provided)
  • Business name — your nursery or business name
  • Custom sales text — the message you wrote for this listing (displayed in quotes, italic)
  • Call button — links to tel:{your phone}
  • WhatsApp button — opens WhatsApp with a pre-composed message in Malay or English
  • Price badge — your listing price with currency
  • Location button — opens Google Maps with your GPS coordinates
  • IUCN Conservation button — fetches and displays IUCN Red List assessment data for the species (opens a modal with taxonomy, common names, and assessment history)

The vendor section is hidden on Free tier scans — visitors see the botanical plant information only.

Description & Information

Each plant has a botanical description in the selected language. The page also loads medicinal uses data (visible behind the scenes, available for future UI enhancements).

Campaign Banner

If you have an active campaign, a promotional strip appears with your campaign message and optional banner image.

Expired Listings

When a listing's valid_until date has passed, the visitor sees an amber warning banner on the page indicating the listing is no longer active.
