No overnight export, no sampling. ### Unique versus returning One phone scanning three codes is one visitor, and coming back a second time is the signal worth having. ### Where it worked City, country, device, browser and referrer per scan, so you can compare one placement against another honestly. Per placement ## Which poster worked, not which campaign. Give every placement its own code and compare them on the same axes. A code per gate, per store, per print run, per city. * Unlimited codes, all tracked the same way * Tag by location, campaign or print run * Bulk create a whole rollout at once Beyond the count ## A scan is anonymous. A visitor does not have to be. Add a step to the code and the same analytics carry a name, an email and the answers someone gave you. The scan becomes a contact you can act on. * Forms, contact cards and choices * Answers attached to the visitor, not the scan * Returning visitors recognised across codes Your stack ## The numbers where you already work. Get a report in your inbox every week or every month, export to CSV, push to a webhook, or send every scan straight into your CRM as it happens. * Scheduled reports by email: weekly or monthly * One-click CSV for any range * Webhooks for any endpoint * Make, Zapier or n8n Why us ## Lead capture optimized for the real world Describe what you need and the AI Assistant builds the workflow.

The feature set and reliability are outstanding!” MrZogiBearReddit User FAQ ## Frequently asked questions Everything about measuring QR codes. What data do QR code analytics actually capture? City, country, device, operating system, browser, referrer and timestamp for every scan, plus whether that visitor has scanned before. Read [what you can collect from a scan](https://linkbreakers.com/help/article/what-data-you-can-collect-from-qr-code-scans). Can I track a QR code I have already printed? Only if it was made as a dynamic code. A static code has the destination baked into the image and cannot be measured or changed. See [dynamic versus static QR codes](https://linkbreakers.com/features/dynamic-qr-codes). Can I see QR code scans by product and country? Yes. Tag each code with its product line, then filter a dashboard by that tag and by one or several countries, on every plan. Here is [how to track scans by product and country](https://linkbreakers.com/help/article/how-to-track-qr-code-scans-by-product-and-country). How quickly does a scan appear? Immediately. The dashboard updates before the visitor's page has finished loading. Is there a limit on scans? No. Every scan is tracked whatever the volume, on every plan including the free one. Can I tell a repeat scan from a new one? Yes. Returning visitors are flagged automatically and carry their full scan history, across every code in the workspace. Can I export the data? Yes, one-click CSV for any time range, plus webhooks and integrations if you would rather it arrived on its own. Can I get QR code analytics reports by email? Yes. Every workspace can get a scheduled report by email, weekly (every Monday) or monthly (on the 1st): total visits, cities reached, top device and top performing link, each compared with the previous period. It is included on every plan, Free included. See [how to set up scheduled reports](https://linkbreakers.com/help/article/how-to-set-up-email-digests-in-linkbreakers). Can I retarget people who scanned my QR code with ads? Yes. Add a Meta Pixel, Google tag, TikTok Pixel, LinkedIn Insight Tag or Google Tag Manager container once, under Integrations, and every link and QR code of the workspace, or only the links you select, fires it when a person visits, so your scanners can join your ad audiences. A short page fires the pixels before the redirect, usually well under a second; bots and link previews are never sent through it. Included on every plan. See [retargeting pixels](https://linkbreakers.com/help/article/retargeting-pixels-meta-google-tiktok-linkedin-and-google-tag-manager). Is QR code analytics GDPR compliant? Yes. We collect the minimum needed to report a scan and nothing that identifies someone who has not chosen to tell you. Read about [our GDPR compliance](https://linkbreakers.com/help/article/is-linkbreakers-gdpr-compliant).
