Learn more...When you create dynamic QR Code, any user who scans your QR Code is first send to our server. There we analyse the user's device and location before we redirect him to the target url. On top of it you will receive statistics about the number of people scanned your QR Codes.
For each QR Code we track
We track the devices who scan your codes by
For each scan we track the location which includes Country, City and if the user approves his location his GPS Coordinates.
We include GeoLite2 data created by MaxMind, to lookup a country by its IP address, available from
www.maxmind.com.
The time of the scan is also logged when you track QR code usage using our QR Code generator. For each scan we track the date and the local time depending on the location of where the QR Code is scanned. So if you are using the same QR Code in countries with a different time zone, you will always see the local scanning time.
Not only does our platform have detailed tracking data for your QR code campaigns, it also allows you to connect with Google Analytics. You also receive demographic data like age or gender in your Google Analytics account and interests to the users who scan your QR codes. This feature is only available in paid subscribtions.
Tracking Age and Gender with Google AnalyticsOur data warehouse allows you to process statistics with millions of scans in a matter of seconds.
We are committed to offer a rock-solid platform using the latest technologies and analytic algorithms to provide the level of service your company needs.

Our service offers an optional consent popup that is displayed to the user before third-party cookies are stored in order to track GDPR and CCPA compliant.
Using the API, you can automatically generate QR Codes and request statistics of how often, where and by what devices a QR Code was scanned. You can get grouped daily statistics for your QR Codes within a given time range, optionally filter the request by devices and much more...

When you enable Geocoding, we lookup the GPS coordinates and retrieve
When a QR Code is scanned, the mobile Browser sends his preferred language and locale. With this information you can track for example tourists from foreign countries.
When a tourist scans a QR Code in your hotel, the country retrieved from the IP address would be your home country. However, by looking up the browser's locale, you can see the country of origin and the preferred language of your guest.
As soon the QR codes that you have attached to the stored address are scanned, they will instantly pop up on the map with their numbers of scans. This allows you to determine your most frequented locations and optimize your marketing activity accordingly.
When you are creating landing pages for your QR Codes and they are getting shared on social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter or WhatsApp, you will see in your statistics how many visits you get from different channels.
This helps you to learn where your target audience is most active to accordingly plan your ad campaigns for each channel.
QR codes that are scanned with the WeChat App appear in the statistics next to the Smartphone with a WeChat icon. Thus, you not only know from which device, but also from which App the QR code was called.
A static QR code is good to store information offline when there is no internet connection needed. However, static QR Codes cannot be tracked. Static QR Codes can be used for example for texts, emails, SMS or connect to a WiFi. Dynamic QR codes are perfect for tracking, since they are routed through our server. Moreover you can always change the target url, even after printing a QR Code.
Unique Visitors is the number of clearly identifiable devices that scanned the QR Code. The number is computed by summing up all unique IP addresses from the devices. The IP addresses are stored anonymously and a scan can never be directly linked with a person. Thus scans are anonymous and GDPR compliant.
The number of requests indicates how often the QR Code has been scanned. A QR Code may be scanned 1 or more times by the same person. Therefore, the number of requests is always greater than or equal to the number of unique visitors.
Note: If you scan a QR Code from different devices and they are all connected to the same Wifi-network, the number of unique visitors is 1 and will not increase.
For security reasons it is not possible to track the person's phone number or any other details like name or contacts from the address book just by scanning the QR Code.
However, you can build a form on your landing page to retrieve personal data of the person who scans the QR Code. See How to generate Leads?
We identify a QR Code scan by the device's IP address and the user agent sent by the device. There are three scenarios, why a QR Code incorrectly shows up from a different country:
The most accurate results you get, when you enable the GPS tracking function for QR Codes.
Another possibility that requests show up from a different country is that the URL might have been shared through Facebook, WhatsApp, WeChat or other social media platforms by the user or the app after scanning. You can have a look on the Referred section of the statistic page for more details.
Using the QR Code Manager lets you manage all your QR Codes at once and you can view scanning statistics including unique visitors, visiting countries, browsers and more.
First and foremost, the IP address of the smartphone that scanned the QR code is used. This allows the country of origin to be determined with an accuracy of 99%. The IP address itself is not stored by us to stay compatible with the GDRP and CCPA
For each IP address also a position is approximated. The accuracy can range from one to 1000 kilometers. On average the accuracy is about 200 kilometers. If you would like to determine a more precise position, activate the GPS location in the options menu of a QR code.
If the GPS tracking function is switched on for a trackable QR code, the position can be determined down to an accuracy of only a few meters. Read more about:
QR Code tracking with GPSThe good news is that the tracking process itself does not store any personal data. When requesting a tracking URL or scanning a dynamic QR code you do not have to worry about GDPR or CCPA. We just store
The redirection to the destination address is executed directly via a 301 redirect and we do not place any cookies on the scanning device.
