Can I track how many times QR codes are scanned in Vareons?
Last verified: 2026-09-19
The QR code maker app in Vareons is available from the marketplace with its own id and dedicated board, supporting types such as URL, text, email, phone, Wi-Fi, vCard, and SMS, with a customizer for size, colors, and pattern, a code manager, and an analytics tab. The code image encodes the public tracking link while the original content stays stored in the database, and on scan the hit is logged before opening the destination with device, browser, OS, and country derived. Paused or archived codes are not accessible and return an error instead of redirecting.
Steps for tracking and analyzing scans
- Open the QR maker board and create the code with the target type and content, then customize its look.
- Publish the code in its placements: packaging, store, printed materials, or platforms.
- Follow the analytics tab for total scans, period change, and breakdowns by devices and countries.
- Review the daily curve, the last scan, and top-performing codes within the available analysis ranges.
- Pause or archive expired codes to block access, and create fresh replacements when needed.
Name codes after their placements to ease comparing performance per channel, and review analytics periodically to improve placements and content. Pausing old codes also keeps a clean experience and blocks access to expired content.
