Question 1

How does QR code tracking work?

Accepted Answer

QR code tracking works by creating a unique tracking URL that redirects to your destination. When someone scans your QR code, our system captures anonymized analytics data including scan location (city-level), device type (mobile/desktop), scan timestamp, and user agent information. This data is processed in real-time and displayed in your analytics dashboard with detailed charts and insights.

Can I customize my QR codes with logos and colors?

Accepted Answer

Yes! QR Tracker offers extensive customization options including custom colors, gradient backgrounds, logo uploads, different dot patterns, and eye shapes. You can match your brand colors, add your company logo, and create professional-looking QR codes while maintaining 100% scannability.

Question 4

What types of QR codes can I create?

Accepted Answer

You can create QR codes for URLs, plain text, email addresses, phone numbers, SMS messages, WiFi credentials, vCards (contact information), calendar events, location coordinates, and social media profiles. Our platform supports all standard QR code types with the ability to track scans and analyze performance for each type.

Question 5

Is there a limit to QR code scans?

Accepted Answer

No, there are absolutely no scan limits with QR Tracker. Your QR codes can be scanned unlimited times, and we track every single scan with detailed analytics. Whether you get 10 scans or 10 million scans, all data is captured and available in your dashboard. This makes QR Tracker perfect for marketing campaigns of any size.

Question 6

How accurate is QR code location tracking?

Accepted Answer

Our location tracking uses IP geolocation technology, which typically provides city-level accuracy (within 10-50 miles). We respect user privacy and don't collect precise GPS coordinates or personally identifiable information. The location data shows the general geographic area where scans occur, perfect for understanding your audience's geographic distribution.

Question 7

Can I export my QR code analytics data?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Pro users can export their QR code analytics data in multiple formats including CSV, Excel, and PDF reports. Export options include scan counts, dates, locations, device types, and custom date ranges. This feature is perfect for marketing reports, ROI analysis, and sharing campaign performance with stakeholders.

Question 8

What's the difference between static and dynamic QR codes?

Accepted Answer

Static QR codes contain fixed information that cannot be changed after creation, while dynamic QR codes (our specialty) allow you to update the destination URL without reprinting the QR code. Dynamic QR codes also enable tracking, analytics, and the ability to modify campaigns in real-time, making them superior for business and marketing use.

Question 9

How do I track QR code performance for marketing campaigns?

Accepted Answer

QR Tracker provides comprehensive campaign tracking through our analytics dashboard. You can monitor scan counts, peak scanning times, geographic distribution, device types, and conversion rates. Create separate QR codes for different campaigns, compare performance metrics, and optimize your marketing strategy based on real-time data insights.

Question 10

Are QR codes secure and safe to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, QR codes created with QR Tracker are secure. We use HTTPS encryption for all tracking URLs, don't store personal user data, and provide transparency about destinations. Users can preview QR code destinations before scanning, and our platform includes security measures to prevent malicious redirects and ensure safe scanning experiences.

Accepted Answer

Yes! We provide a powerful REST API for developers to integrate QR code generation, tracking, and analytics directly into their applications.
