QR codes for posters and print
Make a QR code for a flyer, poster or menu and see how many visits each one brings.
What it does
A QR codes page for each site: give the code a name, say where it goes and which page it opens, then download it as SVG or PNG. Below, a table shows the visits each printed code has brought.
Why it matters
Print is hard to measure. A separate code for the shop window, the table cards and the leaflet tells you which one people actually scan, so you know where to spend next time.
How to use it
- Open your dashboard, find UTM campaigns and tap QR codes for posters and print.
- Fill in a name (autumn-menu), where it goes (table-card) and the page it opens (/menu), then tap Make QR code.
- Download SVG for print or PNG for anything else, test it with your phone, and watch Visits from QR codes fill in.
How it works
- Open QR codes from your dashboard (UTM campaigns card) and fill in a name, where it goes and the page it opens.
- quietstats builds a normal link to your page with utm_source (where it goes), utm_medium=qr and utm_campaign (the name), and draws it as a QR code.
- Download it as SVG for print or PNG for anything else. Nothing is saved when you make a code.
- When someone scans it, their visit is counted like any other, cookie-free. The table groups visits with utm_medium=qr by name and place.
Privacy
- Collected: Nothing new: the code is a tagged link, and visits are counted like any other
- Collected: Name and place come from the link, not from the person scanning
- No cookies, and nothing stored on the visitor’s device.
- Reports show totals only: never a visitor list, IP address or single visit.
Limits
- 0 script bytes, 0 rows written when a code is made
- A visit is counted once a day per visitor
- Codes must open a page on the site itself, so the visits count for it
- Rows: 1 read per page view over the range’s QR visits
Plans
Every plan, including Free. quietstats is free during launch: the Free plan covers 1 site and 5,000 pageviews a month, and no card is needed. See pricing.
Questions
Do QR codes expire?
No. They are plain links to your own page, so they keep working for as long as the page exists, even if you stop using quietstats.
Can I change where a printed code goes?
No, the page is part of the link. Redirect the old page on your site if you need to.
Why not a short link?
A short link needs a redirect service that sees every scan. A direct link to your page counts the visit the same cookie-free way, with nothing in between.
