How GPS Location tracking Works

1

Create a dynamic QR code

Any QR code type in QRTRAC — URL, coupon, vCard, menu — is automatically tracked when created as a dynamic code. No setup required.

2

Deploy to your physical placements

Print your QR code on flyers, packaging, signage, or ads. Assign a label to each code so you know which placement it belongs to.

3

Scans are tracked instantly

Every scan triggers a data event: timestamp, device type, and geographic location resolved from IP. Data appears in your dashboard within seconds.

4

Analyze and export

Filter by date, location, or device. Compare multiple codes side by side. Download a CSV to include location data in client reports or BI dashboards.

GPS QR Code Tracking — FAQ

Answers to the most common questions about QR code location tracking.

Q How does QR code location tracking work?

When someone scans your QR code, QRTRAC captures the IP address of the device and resolves it to a geographic location — country, region, and city. This data is available in your dashboard in real time. No device GPS or personal information is accessed.

Q How accurate is the location data?

Location data is accurate to the city level for most scans. Accuracy is high in urban areas and slightly lower in rural regions. It is derived from IP geolocation, which is industry-standard for privacy-compliant analytics.

Q Can I track different physical locations separately?

Yes. Create a unique dynamic QR code for each store, branch, or placement. Each code has its own analytics page, so you can compare scan volume and location data across every physical location individually.

Q Does this require device GPS permission?

No. Location data is resolved from the scanner's IP address, so no GPS permission or personal data consent is required from the end user. This approach is fully GDPR and CCPA compliant.

Q Can I export location data to a spreadsheet?

Yes. From any QR code's analytics page, you can export the full scan history — including country, city, device, and timestamp — as a CSV or Excel file.

Q What plan do I need for location tracking?

Geographic location data is included on all paid QRTRAC plans, starting at $5/month. There are no per-scan fees — unlimited scans are tracked on every plan.
