What is a QR code?
A QR code is a two-dimensional barcode that stores data - usually a URL. Any smartphone camera can scan it instantly. Invented in 1994 for tracking car parts, QR codes now handle over 10 million scans daily worldwide.
How it works in online booking
You print a QR code on appointment reminder cards handed out after each visit. The client scans it at home to book their next session. That same code goes on your front door, receipts, and event flyers. Each scan is a potential rebooking. Generate yours with the free QR code generator - it takes about 30 seconds. Your team can share the code directly from the employee scheduling app too.
Benefits
- Bridges offline to online - any printed material becomes a direct booking link
- Scan and book in under 10 seconds with zero typing
- Track scan counts to see which physical locations drive the most new appointments
Frequently Asked Questions
Where should a booking business place QR codes?
Business cards, receipts, reminder cards, window stickers, flyers, and the checkout counter. Each spot catches clients at a different moment. A code on a receipt captures rebooking right after a visit. One on a flyer reaches brand-new prospects.
What size should a QR code be for reliable scanning?
At least 2x2 cm for business cards held at arm's length. 5x5 cm minimum for posters viewed from a meter away. Bigger for window signs and billboards. Always test the printed code from the expected viewing distance before ordering a batch.
