QR code scan statistics: what you see and how it helps

One of the biggest advantages of a dynamic QR code is that you can measure every scan. A static code tells you nothing — once printed, you have no idea whether anyone scanned it. A dynamic code passes through getQR on every scan, so you can see exactly how it performs.

What statistics you see

• Total scans and scans in the last 7 days — how "alive" your code is.
• Trend over time: a chart for the last 30 days, so you can spot peaks (after a campaign, an event, a post).
• Devices: how many scans come from phone, tablet or desktop.
• Countries: where the code is scanned from, with a flag and a scan count (detected locally, no external services).
• Last scan and a list of the most recent scans.

What it helps with

Statistics turn a QR code from a plain link into a measurable marketing tool. You can answer real questions:

• Which poster / channel / location brings the most scans? (use one dynamic code per channel)
• When do people scan — and is it worth changing the destination at those times?
• Is your audience on mobile? Then the landing page must be flawless on phones.

Export and get reports

In getQR you can export scans to CSV (open it straight in Excel) — either for one code, or a summary of all your codes. On top of that, you get a monthly email report with total scans, the trend and the top countries, so you do not have to log in manually.

How to start

Create a free account, make a dynamic code, and the statistics start building from the very first scan.

If you were wondering how it differs from a regular code, you have the answer in dynamic vs. static.
