When someone scans your code, we map their IP address to their city and country. You do not need to ask for annoying GPS permissions, and you do not store personal data. It is clean, private, and highly accurate location data.
If you place physical QR codes on flyers, store windows, or street banners, you can finally trace offline prints back to real user scans.
Get deep geographic insights on your marketing campaigns without compromising consumer privacy.
See exactly which cities and countries generate scans. Filter by date range to spot weekend rushes or local trends.
Compare physical spots side-by-side. See if your Chicago billboard outperforms your New York storefront billboard.
Pinpoint peak scan hours. Spot when Chicago scans peak on Saturday afternoons, while Boston runs hot on Tuesday mornings.
Download raw scan data as CSV or Excel. Drop clean stats straight into your client reports or spreadsheet templates.
We map IP addresses to general locations without reading GPS coordinates or capturing personal data. Safe and compliant.
Run scans on your own domain like qr.yourbrand.com. Capture geographic data under your own brand identity.
Any type of code—from PDF menus to website links—starts tracking locations automatically. No configuration needed.
Print your unique codes on product packaging, window stickers, or trade show banners. Label each one so you know where they live.
When users scan the code, we match their IP to their city. Your dashboard updates in seconds with no browser popups for the user.
Filter by date or device type, then export to CSV to share directly with clients or plug into spreadsheets.
Location data turns passive scans into strategic intelligence across industries.
Place custom codes on table tents or window decals at each shop. Find out which branch drives actual foot traffic.
Print codes on postcards and flyers. Know which neighborhoods actually scan and buy, ending the guesswork on print ROI.
Put codes on badge lanyards and booth banners. Find out where your attendees traveled from to plan your next event location.

Answers to the most common questions about QR code location tracking.
By default, when someone scans your QR code we look up their IP address to estimate their country, state and city, with no permission prompt. For exact coordinates, switch on GPS Tracking for that code: the scanner's browser then asks to share the device's location, and scans where they allow it record latitude and longitude.
IP-based location is highly accurate at the city level, especially in metro areas. It is the standard, privacy-safe way to map physical scans without tracking individual people.
Yes. Generate a unique code for each physical asset—like a menu, a poster, or a product tag. Each code gets its own tracking dashboard so you can compare them side-by-side.
Not for city-level data, which comes from the IP address with no prompt. Only the optional GPS Tracking setting asks scanners for location permission, and only on the codes where you turn it on.
Yes. Open Analytics, then Scan Data, and export an Excel or CSV report with country, city, device type and timestamp for each scan. With GPS Tracking on, the export also includes latitude and longitude.
Open the QR code, go to the Configure tab, scroll to Advanced Settings and switch GPS Tracking on, then save. There are no extra fields. You can turn it on or off at any time, even after the code is printed.
The scan is still counted and still gets an IP-based city estimate. You just won't get latitude and longitude for that scan.
A location QR code sends the scanner to a place by opening a Google Maps link. GPS tracking is a setting that records where each scan happened, and it works on any QR code type. You can use either one alone or both on the same code.
We include geographic tracking on all paid plans starting at $5/month. We never charge extra for scan volume—all scans are totally unlimited.
