How to make a QR code for your business

A QR code turns a printed sticker into a doorway to your whole business. A customer points their camera at it, and your page opens with your menu, your number and your location. The trick is to make the QR code point to something useful, not just a plain website, and to make it easy to update.

What your QR code should open

Many businesses print a QR code that opens a flat website, then the code is useless the moment anything changes. A better approach is to point your QR code at a link in bio page. That way one scan gives your customer every option at once, and you can change what is behind the code without ever reprinting it.

How to make one

1. Create your page first, so you have a live link like murls.co/yourname.
2. Open your dashboard, where your QR code is generated for you automatically.
3. Download the QR code image.
4. Print it on your window, your packaging, your receipts or a table card.
5. Test it with your own phone before you print a large batch.

Because the QR code opens your live page, it always shows your latest details. Update your hours or add a new link, and the same printed code now shows the new information.

Where to put your QR code

• On your shop window, so passers by can scan it after hours.
• On your packaging, so customers can reorder or leave a review.
• On a table card, so diners can open your menu.
• On your printed business card, so a new contact can save you in a tap.

Track how many people scan

A plain QR code tells you nothing. When your code opens a link in bio page, scans show up in your analytics, so you can see whether the sticker on your window is actually working. See our guide to link in bio for business for more.

One code, always current, and you can see how well it works.
