QR code for reviews
Paste your review link and download it free. Make it dynamic and you can switch platform, or point at a different location, without a reprint.
Where should the review go?
Find it with Google's Place ID finder. It starts with ChIJ.
The link this opens
Fill in the field above and the review link appears here.
Open it once yourself before you print anything. A review code that lands on the wrong profile is worse than no code, because nobody tells you.
Your code appears here once the link is valid.
Reviews
Why this one should be dynamic
Review links are long, ugly and platform-specific, which makes them the worst thing to ask a customer to type and the best thing to put behind a code. They are also the link most likely to change, when you add a location or move the request somewhere else.
Timing
Ask while they are still standing there
A code on the receipt or the counter catches people in the ten minutes when they still remember the visit.
Platform changes
Switch where reviews land
Moving from one platform to another, or adding a second location, is a destination change rather than a print order.
Measurement
Scans versus reviews
Scan counts tell you how many people started. Comparing that with reviews received tells you whether the landing page is the problem.
Before it goes to print
The spec sheet for this job
A code that scans on a screen can still fail on paper. These are the numbers that decide it.
Print one at final size, on the final material, and scan it from where a real person will stand - across a table, at arm's length, from the pavement. Do that before the run, not after. It is the only test that matters, and it takes a minute.

Our policy
Static codes never expire. Dynamic codes work while you have a plan.
A static QR code carries its destination inside the pattern itself. There is no redirect, no server, nothing anyone can switch off - so the ones you make here are yours forever, free, with no account and no expiry date. If what you need is a code that outlives us, make it static and print it.
A dynamic code is different: it points at a redirect we run on your behalf every time somebody scans it, which is what lets you change the destination after printing. That runs while you have a plan. Cancel and it keeps working for 30 more days, we email you before anything changes, and nothing is ever deleted - your codes, links and scan history all wait for you.
What lasts, and for how long
- ForeverStatic codes, free, no account

- 30 daysDynamic codes keep working after you cancel

- StoppedCodes used for abuse
Abuse is the one thing we stop immediately and without a grace period - phishing, malware, fraud, impersonation and the rest of the acceptable use policy.

| What is inside the code | The content itself - a link, a network, a contact card | A short link we own, which is what you edit |
| Scan analytics | None | Scans, day, city, device |
| Expiry | Never | Never, including after you cancel |
| Best for | Wi-Fi, contact cards, anything that must work offline | Menus, packaging, signage, campaigns |

Questions
Reviews, answered
- How do I make a QR code for my review page?
- Copy the review link your platform gives you, paste it above, and download the code. Test it on a phone that is not signed in, because a login wall is the most common reason review codes fail.
- Can one code serve more than one review platform?
- Point it at a small page of your own that lists them, then use a dynamic code so you can change that page or send everyone to one platform later.
- Is it against the rules to ask for reviews with a QR code?
- Asking is generally fine. Filtering - sending happy customers to the public review and unhappy ones somewhere private - is not, and platforms enforce that. Point everyone at the same place.
- Where should the code go?
- Wherever the customer is at the moment they are most pleased: the receipt, the counter, the packaging insert, the follow-up email.
- What happens if I cancel?
- The code keeps redirecting to the review page you last saved. Editing and analytics pause until you reactivate.
