What is a Shopify QR code?
A Shopify QR code is a 2D barcode that encodes a URL from your Shopify store, most commonly a product page, a collection page, a discount link, a checkout link, or your store homepage. When a shopper scans it with the native camera on iOS or Android, they're taken straight to that page, no app required.
Shopify QR codes are used to bridge offline marketing and online sales: a customer sees your QR on packaging, a flyer, a thank-you card, or a retail shelf, scans it, and lands on the exact Shopify URL you choose. With a dynamic Shopify QR code, that destination can be edited anytime, meaning one printed QR can power a January launch, a March discount, and a July reorder campaign without ever being reprinted.
A QR code generator for Shopify accepts any URL from your .myshopify.com domain or your custom domain: /products/<handle>, /collections/<handle>, /discount/<CODE>, /cart/<variant_id>:1, or /pages/<page>. The QR pattern itself contains the URL, and once scanned, Shopify takes over from there.
Quick fact: Shopify offers a free built-in QR code generator inside its admin under Discounts and via several Shopify App Store apps. IMQRScan is an independent tool that adds dynamic editing, scan analytics, branded design, and Dozens of QR code types, useful when Shopify's built-in tool isn't enough for your campaign.
