Articles on: QR Code Generator

I want to create a QR Code to redirect to my Shopify Store Webpage

Summary

This article guides you through creating a QR code that links directly to your Shopify Store or any specific landing page using the F: QR Code Generator app. We include step-by-step instructions, best practices, and tips for tracking your offline-to-online ROI.


Who is this for?

  • Shopify Merchants who want to bridge the gap between physical touchpoints (packaging, flyers, storefronts) and their online store.
  • Marketers looking to track the performance of offline campaigns.


Full Step-by-Step Guide

1. Access the F: QR Code Generator App

2. Start a New Campaign

  • On the main dashboard, click the Create QR button.

  • From the options, select Home Page.

  • Tip: If you want to link to a specific promotional landing page or blog post, select Custom URL instead.

3. Verify Your Store URL

  • The app will automatically load your primary Shopify domain (e.g., your-store-url.com) into the Store Name input box.
  • Pro Tip: To track which specific flyer or poster is working best, append a "tag" to your URL, like your-store-url?utm_source=flyer_feb_10_26
    • What is a UTM ?

⇒ Key Components of UTM Parameters.

    • There are five main parameters used to track traffic, which are added after a "?" in the URL:
    • **utm_source (Required):**

Identifies the advertiser, site, or publication sending traffic (e.g.,google,newsletter,facebook).

        • **utm_medium (Required):** Identifies the marketing medium, such as cpc (cost-per-click), email, or social.
        • **utm_campaign (Required):** Names the specific product launch, promotion, or marketing initiative.
        • **utm_content (Optional):** Differentiates similar content or links within the same ad, often used for A/B testing.
        • **utm_term (Optional):** Identifies paid search keywords.


  • Example of a UTM URLhttps://example.com/page?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=spring_sale

Best Practices

  • Case Sensitivity: Parameters are case-sensitive (Email is different from email).
  • Consistency: Use a consistent naming convention to keep data clean.


4. Customize the QR Style

  • Don't settle for a generic black-and-white code. Use the Customize QR Code section to:
    • Adjust the Colors to match your brand palette.
    • Change the Corner Style (Rounded or Square).
    • Accessibility Note: Always ensure a high contrast between the QR code and its background so that older phone cameras can still scan it easily.

5. Download and Deploy

  • Click Download and choose your format:
    • PNG / JPG: Best for social media or digital displays.
    • SVG: Best for high-quality printing (flyers, banners, packaging).

Strategic Advice: Where to Place Your Website QR Code

To maximize scans, place your QR code where customers are already engaged:

  1. Product Packaging: Encourage a "Repeat Purchase" by linking them back to the store as they unbox.
  2. Thank You Notes: Include a QR code that leads to your homepage for a "Welcome Back" discount.
  3. Storefront Window: Allow customers to browse your full catalog even when your physical doors are closed .
