How to Track QR Code Scans: What You Can See
By QRVane · Updated
Only dynamic QR codes can be tracked. The code points to a short link on our server, which records the scan and then sends the visitor on to your destination.
What you can see
Total scans, unique scans, device type, operating system, browser, approximate country and the referring site when available. You can compare codes, and tag them by campaign so UTM parameters are added to your links automatically.
What you can't see
Who the person is. We don't store raw IP addresses: a daily-salted hash is used to count unique scans, and country is looked up from the IP and then discarded. Static codes can't be tracked at all.
Getting useful numbers
Use one code per placement (flyer, window, table) so the totals tell you which placement works. Remember that scan counts include repeat scans by the same person.
