Know What's Actually Getting Scanned
QR code analytics show you which placements work, where your audience scans from, and what devices they use. Stop guessing — start optimizing.
Why QR Code Tracking Matters
Location Data
See which cities and countries your scans come from. Know which markets are responding.
Device Breakdown
iOS vs Android, mobile vs desktop. Optimize your landing page for the right audience.
Time Trends
When are scans happening? Lunch spikes for restaurants, evening peaks for retail.
A/B Comparison
Use separate codes per placement to compare which posters, flyers, or ads perform best.
Everything You Can Track
QRPro logs every scan through our redirect server — giving you rich data without any extra setup.
Total & Unique Scans
See how many times your code was scanned overall, and how many unique visitors you reached. High repeat rates often signal loyalty.
City & Country
Approximate location derived from IP address. Useful for multi-city campaigns to see which markets are most engaged.
Device & OS
iOS vs Android, mobile vs tablet. If 90% of scans are from iPhones, your landing page needs to work flawlessly on Safari.
Time & Date
When scans happen. Restaurants find lunch and dinner peaks. Events see pre-day buzz. Retail sees weekend spikes.
Referrer Source
See where traffic comes from — direct, search, social, or email — to understand how people find your codes.
Trends Over Time
Track scan volume day by day and week by week. See the impact of new placements, promotions, or campaign launches.
Setting Up Scan Tracking
Create a Dynamic QR Code
Static codes can't be tracked — the destination is encoded directly without a server involved. Create a dynamic QR code with QRPro and tracking starts automatically.
Create a dynamic QR code →Download and Print Your Code
Get high-resolution PNG or SVG files ready for print. Place codes in high-traffic areas with a clear call-to-action ("Scan for 10% off").
Monitor Scans in Your Dashboard
Every scan appears in your dashboard in real time. Filter by date range, compare codes, and export data as needed.

Common QR Tracking Mistakes
Using static QR codes
No tracking possible. The URL is encoded directly in the pattern with no server involved.
Not using UTM parameters
Even with a dynamic platform, adding UTM parameters to your destination URL gives richer attribution in Google Analytics.
One QR code for everything
Use separate codes per placement, campaign, and channel. Aggregate data hides what's actually working.
Ignoring the data
Tracking is useless if you don't act on it. Set a weekly reminder to review your QR analytics.
