A trackable QR code records data every time someone scans it. Instead of just opening a link, each scan is logged with the user's location (country, city), device type (mobile, tablet, desktop), operating system, browser, and exact timestamp. This gives you a complete picture of how your QR codes are performing.
How trackable qr codes work
When a user scans a trackable QR code, the scan first hits our tracking server. We capture analytics data (IP-based geolocation, user agent, timestamp) in milliseconds, then instantly redirect the user to your destination. The analytics appear in your dashboard in real time.
