Frequently asked questions
What is a QR Code?
A QR code is a two-dimensional barcode that is usually composed of patterns of black and white pixels. They were created for component marking by Denso Wave, a Japanese division of Denso, a Toyota supplier, to speed up the logistics of their car manufacturing. With the increasing use of smartphones, it has now made its way into mobile marketing. "QR" stands for "Quick Response", which describes the instantaneous access to data concealed within the Code.
How can I scan/flash a QR code?
You may already have a built-in QR Code reader or scanner on your device. Get your phone's camera app open, then hold it over a Code for a few seconds to see a notification appear. If this doesn't occur, make sure that QR Code scanning is enabled in your settings. Still not functioning? You only need to install third-party QR Code readers from your app stores, so don't worry.
How does support work?
We're aware of the importance of well qualified support, that is why we decided that support will only be provided by the authors that actually worked on this project.
Feel free to contact us submitting a suport ticket and we'll help you out as soon as we can.
Is it possible to count the number of scans?
We have decided to focus solely on QR Code generation. We recommend using a URL shortener with analytics capabilities to create a shortened link before generating the QR Code.
What types of data can be kept in a QR code?
QR codes are flexible. They can hold a wide range of data, based on what you require. It makes it simpler for your customer to open a website with only a scan by storing the URL. Additionally, it may retain contact information, saving you the trouble of manually typing your name, phone number, email address, etc.
