      How to Generate QR Codes

      In this article, you will learn how to generate and use QR Codes on the Apifon platform.

      Before you begin

      How do QR codes work?

      QR codes (Quick Response codes) encode information like URLs, text, or contact details into a two-dimensional barcode. People can scan the QR code using their smartphone's camera or a dedicated QR code scanner, which decodes the information and directs them to the intended destination, such as a sign-up form or landing page.

      What makes Apifon's QR code generator crucial? 

      Marketers often use QR codes instead of text URLs to send people to a website. Our QR code solution acts as a mediator between physical and digital marketing efforts.  This simplifies customer acquisition, making it faster, easier, and more efficient.

      Printing the QR code on materials such as brochures, posters, packaging, etc., creates a bridge between the physical and digital worlds.

      Once a QR code is printed, it cannot be changed or updated. However, you can generate a new QR code with the updated information and replace the old one. You should ensure that any printed QR codes are up-to-date and accurately direct users to the desired sign-up forms or landing pages.
