QR Code for Your Etsy Shop
Every package you ship is an ad for your next sale.
An Etsy shop QR code goes on your thank-you cards, packaging inserts, and craft-fair signage, sending people straight to your shop - or better, to a review request or a returning-customer coupon. Etsy sellers live on repeat buyers and five-star reviews; the insert card with a scannable code is the cheapest tool for both. Make it dynamic and the same printed cards can point at this month's promotion, then next season's collection, without ordering new inserts.
Why use a dynamic QR code for this
Reuse one insert card forever
Point the code at a coupon this month, your new collection next month, a review request after the holidays - the printed cards never change.
Bridge craft fairs to your shop
At in-person markets, the code on your banner or price tags carries browsers to your Etsy shop before they walk away.
See what packaging does
Scan analytics tell you how many buyers actually flip the insert card and visit - data Etsy never shows you.

FAQ
Is it against Etsy's rules to put a QR code in my packaging?
Linking to your own Etsy shop, listings, or review page is standard practice. Diverting buyers off-platform to avoid fees is what Etsy restricts - check their current seller policy if you link externally.
Should the code go to my shop or a specific listing?
For inserts, a coupon or 'new arrivals' page converts best. With a dynamic code you can test both and switch without reprinting.
Can I match the code to my brand colors?
Yes - colors, gradients, and a center logo. Keep contrast high (dark code on light background) so it scans on the first try.
Can I change where the QR code points after printing?
Yes - with a dynamic QR code. It encodes a short redirect link, so you can update the destination anytime from your dashboard and every printed copy instantly points to the new URL. Static codes encode the destination directly and can't be changed.
Do these QR codes expire?
No. Static QR codes are free forever and never expire - they encode your destination directly and don't depend on our servers. Dynamic codes keep working as long as your account is active, and you can pause or re-point them whenever you like.
Can I track how many people scan it?
Yes. Dynamic QR codes come with real-time scan analytics: total scans plus device, location, and time-of-day breakdowns, so you can see exactly which placement is working. Scan tracking is part of the Pro plan.
Is there a watermark on the QR code?
No. Every QR code you create - free or paid - is watermark-free and downloadable as a crisp PNG or scalable SVG, ready for print at any size.
Do I need an app to scan the code?
No. Every modern iPhone and Android camera scans QR codes natively - just point the camera at the code and tap the link that appears. No special app required.
