Generate branded coupon QR codes in minutes — with scan limits, expiry dates, multi-location redemption tracking, and real-time analytics. No reprinting needed when your offer changes.
From login to print-ready in under 5 minutes.
Start your 7-day free trial (no credit card required). From your dashboard, click 'Create New QR Code' and select the Coupon type from the QR type library.
Paste the URL of your coupon landing page — this can be your website, a Google Form, or any URL. Then configure: (a) Expiry date — when the offer ends; (b) Scan limit — max number of redemptions; (c) Expiry redirect URL — where scans go after the offer ends.
Add your brand logo to the center, select dot color (use high-contrast colors for reliable scanning — dark modules on white/light background), choose eye style, and add a branded frame with a call to action like 'Scan to save 20%'.
For campaigns running across multiple store locations, assign each location a unique redemption password or import all locations via CSV. Redemptions tagged with a store password appear in your analytics broken down by location.
Export SVG for professional print (scales to any size with zero quality loss) or PNG for digital use. Place on flyers, shelf tags, receipts, mailers, table tents, or packaging inserts. Run a test scan on your physical proof before your full print run.
Every coupon QR code you create gets these capabilities out of the box.
| Placement | Viewing Distance | Min Size | Recommended |
|---|---|---|---|
| Receipt / business card | Hand distance (<30cm) | 2cm | 2.5–3cm |
| Product packaging | Hand distance (<30cm) | 2.5cm | 3–4cm |
| Flyer / direct mail | Hand distance (<30cm) | 2.5cm | 3–4cm |
| Table tent / menu | Arm distance (30–60cm) | 3cm | 4–5cm |
| Shelf label / poster | Arm distance (30–60cm) | 4cm | 5–8cm |
| Window / door display | Sidewalk (60–150cm) | 6cm | 10–12cm |
| Yard sign / banner | Car distance (1.5–6m) | 10cm | 15–20cm+ |
Always maintain a white quiet zone border of at least 4 QR modules wide. Export SVG for sharpest results at any size.

Technical and practical questions from marketers building their first coupon campaign.
Log in to your QRTRAC dashboard, select 'Create New QR Code', choose the Coupon type, configure your offer URL, set expiry date and scan limit if desired, customize the appearance with your brand colors and logo, then download SVG or PNG for print. The whole process takes under 5 minutes for your first code, and under 60 seconds once you're familiar with the workflow.
A static coupon QR code encodes a fixed URL directly in the code — you can never change it without reprinting. A dynamic coupon QR code (what QRTRAC creates) uses a short redirect URL. You can update the destination, change the offer, set expiry dates, add scan limits, and view analytics — all from your dashboard, without touching the printed code. For any coupon campaign where the offer might change, dynamic is the only practical choice.
Yes — QRTRAC's QR code customization lets you add a center logo, choose dot color, eye color, and background color, and select from multiple QR dot styles. For coupon codes, we recommend using high-contrast colors (dark modules on white or light background) to maintain scan reliability. The QR generator automatically validates scan reliability — if your color choices reduce scanability, you'll get a warning before export.
In the QRTRAC dashboard when creating or editing a coupon QR code, you'll find a 'Scan limit' field. Enter the maximum number of redemptions you want to allow. When that number is reached, all subsequent scans automatically redirect to your 'expired' or 'sold out' URL instead of the offer page. You can set an expiry redirect URL or choose to show a default QRTRAC expiry page.
QRTRAC exports coupon QR codes as SVG (vector — scales to any size without quality loss, best for professional print), PNG (raster — recommended for web use, digital display, and standard print), and PDF (for direct print production workflows). For physical coupon materials — mailers, flyers, receipts — always use SVG or high-resolution PNG (at least 300 DPI at final print size).
Yes — and this is the recommended approach for multi-location campaigns. Create one QR code per store location (or per promotion × location combination). Each code gets its own analytics tracking, so your dashboard shows redemptions broken down by location, date, and time. Alternatively, use one universal code with QRTRAC's multi-location redemption feature, where each store has a unique redemption password that tags their scans in the analytics.
Follow these steps: (1) Export as SVG from QRTRAC for unlimited scalability; (2) Ensure minimum print size of 2.5cm × 2.5cm (larger for outdoor/far-distance placements); (3) Maintain the white quiet zone border — at least 4 modules wide around the code; (4) Use high contrast — black modules on white background for maximum reliability; (5) Test scan the printed proof before your full print run. QRTRAC's built-in scan validator tests your code configuration before export.
