The redirect mechanism explained
When you scan a trackable QR code, it doesn't open your target URL directly. Instead, it opens a short redirect link on our server. We log the scanner's device and approximate location, and then instantly forward them to your destination.
Completely transparent and fast
This redirection happens in a fraction of a second, so the user experiences zero lag while your dashboard populates with accurate scan data in real time.
