QR Code Tracking & Scan Analytics
Stop guessing which placement works. Every scan, logged and charted.
A printed QR code without tracking is a leaflet dropped from a plane — you'll never know if anyone picked it up. A trackable QR code routes each scan through a redirect that logs the moment before forwarding, so you see scans per day, device split, and where in the world they happened. Put different codes on the poster, the receipt, and the packaging, and you'll know within a week which surface earns its ink. Tracking is built into every QRmaker dynamic code — it's not an add-on tier.
What you get
Time, device & location per scan
Every scan records when it happened, phone OS and device class, and country/city — charted live in your dashboard.
Compare placements with per-surface codes
One code per poster, shelf, or table lets you A/B physical placements the way you'd A/B a landing page.
CSV export
Pull the raw scan log into Excel, Sheets, or your BI tool for reporting that survives the marketing meeting.
How it works
- 1
Create a dynamic QR code — tracking is on automatically, nothing to configure.
- 2
Place it (or several, one per surface) in the real world.
- 3
Open the dashboard to watch scans by day, device, and location; export CSV anytime.
FAQ
Can you track a normal (static) QR code?
No. A static code sends the phone straight to the destination with no measurable step in between. Tracking requires a dynamic code that routes through a logging redirect first — which also makes the code editable, as a bonus.
What data does QR code tracking collect?
Scan timestamp, device class and OS, browser, and coarse location (country/city). We store a salted hash instead of raw IP addresses — you get placement analytics without holding personal data.
Do scanners need an app for tracked codes?
No. Tracking happens server-side during the redirect; the person scanning just sees your page open in their camera app like any other code.
Is scan tracking free?
Your first dynamic code includes full tracking, free. Unlimited tracked codes and CSV export come with Pro at $12/month — flat, no per-scan fees.
