How to Create a Website with Tracking QR Code

A Website with Tracking QR code works just like a standard Website QR code — it directs the user to a URL — but it also records each scan so you can measure how your QR code is performing.

Why Use Tracking?

When someone scans a regular Website QR code, they go directly to the URL and no data is captured. With a Website with Tracking QR code, each scan is logged by QRSpike before the visitor is redirected to your destination URL. This gives you valuable insight into how many people are engaging with your QR codes.

With tracking enabled, you can view scan reports by day, week, or month, and export the data for further analysis. Paid plans support up to 12 months of tracking history.

Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. Click the Create QR Code button.
  3. Select Website with Tracking from the QR code type dropdown.
  4. Enter a descriptive name for your QR code.
  5. Enter the destination URL that visitors should be directed to.
  6. Customize the Color, Background Color, Icon, and Border settings as desired.
  7. Click Preview to verify the appearance of your QR code.
  8. Click Save to create your tracked QR code.
