See Which QR Placements Earn More Scans
Use separate QR destinations for packaging, signage, events, or print, then compare recorded scan activity and the additional insights available on your plan.
- QR Activity
- Time-Based Trends
- Paid Audience Insights
- Plan-Based Export
How It Works
- 01
Separate the placements
Choose whether each package, sign, venue, creative, or distribution wave needs an individual QR destination.
- 02
Create and label the QR paths
Use recognizable internal names and keep the destination consistent for a fair placement comparison.
- 03
Test the physical design
Scan at the intended size, distance, angle, lighting, print material, and common mobile network conditions.
- 04
Review scans and downstream outcomes
Use s.id for recorded QR activity and the destination, form, checkout, or CRM for the result after scanning.
Start With the Signal, Then Add the Context
- Separate QR activity from other link visits

Frequently Asked Questions about s.id Analytics
Does every QR code include the same analytics depth?
No blanket promise applies to every plan. Basic activity and advanced audience details, range, retention, and export depend on the product configuration and active subscription.
Can a QR scan be treated as a conversion?
A recorded scan shows engagement with the QR destination. Confirm registration, purchase, or another conversion in the system where that outcome occurs.
Can s.id show the exact scan location?
No. Eligible paid plans can show approximate country-level distribution, not an individual's exact physical location or a promised city-level map.

Compare QR placements through recorded scan activity
A QR destination can connect packaging, signage, event materials, menus, or printed promotions to a digital experience. When each placement uses its own s.id path, the analytics timeline can help you compare recorded QR activity and identify which execution earns more attention.
Available detail depends on the plan. Paid plans add approximate country, device platform, browser, lifetime visitor, and longer-range capabilities; Growth and Scale add CSV timeline export. A scan is an engagement signal, not proof of purchase, registration, or exact physical location.
Design QR measurement before printing
A printed code cannot be reorganized as easily as a digital placement, so naming and testing need to happen early.
Give the scan a reason
Use nearby copy that explains the destination or benefit instead of presenting an unexplained code.
Maintain sufficient contrast
Protect the quiet zone and test customization so visual styling does not reduce scanning reliability.
Archive the placement record
Save the asset name, destination, print run, launch date, and removal date with the corresponding link.
