How to Track QR Codes — A Beginner Friendly Setup Guide

Want to measure your QR code scans? Learn the easiest methods to track scans, map geographic scans, and monitor user devices with dynamic codes.

The step-by-step setup to track scans

To track QR code scans, you must generate a dynamic QR code. Static QR codes do not store redirect links on a database server, meaning their scans cannot be tracked.

When you create a dynamic code on QR Maker, we map a short redirect URL to your target link. When scanned, our server registers the scan metadata before sending the user to their destination.
