How to Track Who Scans Your QR Code

Most people put up a QR code and have no idea if anyone ever scans it. That is a problem because if it is not working you would have no way of knowing.

Dynamic QR codes fix this. Every scan gets logged so you can actually see what is happening.

What you can track

AQRHub records data on every scan. What you see in your dashboard depends on your plan:

• Free: total scan count for each QR code
• Starter: scan trend charts, scans by hour, unique visitors, top countries, top devices, recent scans, and CSV export
• Pro: everything in Starter plus unique visitors by day, top browsers, top operating systems, top states, and top cities

All plans collect the same data on every scan. The difference is what gets displayed in your dashboard.

You do not get personal information about who scanned it. No names, no emails, no phone numbers. Just the aggregate data about the scan event itself.

Why this data is actually useful

Say you put a QR code on a flyer for an event and hand out 500 of them. Two weeks later you check your analytics and see 12 scans. That tells you the flyer either did not get into the right hands or people are not motivated enough to scan it. Now you know to try a different approach next time.

Or you put a QR code on your menu and see 200 scans in a week. That tells you people are actually using it and it is worth keeping.

Data beats guessing every time.

How to set it up

Create a dynamic QR code on AQRHub. Every dynamic QR code automatically tracks scans. The free plan shows your total scan count. Upgrade to Starter for trend charts, location and device breakdowns, recent scans, and CSV export. Pro adds browsers, operating systems, states, cities, and unique visitors by day.

That is it. No extra setup, no third party tools, no complicated integrations.
