Tips for retail stores
Shoppers scan quickly and in passing. Keep it simple.
-
Give a reason to scan — “Scan for sizes and reviews” works better than a bare code.
-
Print large enough — small tags need codes of at least 2 cm; test on real tags.
-
Avoid curved or glossy surfaces — they cause glare and distortion.
-
Use different codes per campaign — so you can see which placements perform.

FAQ
QR codes for retail stores: your questions
Can I make a QR code for every product?
Yes. The bulk generator can turn a CSV of product links into one code per product, as PNG or SVG files.
Do QR codes work on packaging?
Yes, on flat, matt areas. Test on the finished package, because glossy or curved materials can reduce scan rates.
Can I track scans?
Static codes can't count scans themselves. Add UTM parameters to the link and use your analytics tool to see visits from each code.
Do I need to pay for these QR codes?
No. BestQR is free: no sign-up, no watermark and no expiry. The codes are static, so they keep working as long as the page they point to does.
