Your card's own QR code vs a tracked QR code

All plans

Your card's own QR code is the one on Home; a tracked QR code is an extra one you make on Links & QR for one place, so its scans are counted on their own.

In your dashboard: People > Links & QR > Active QR Codes & Tracking Links

Your card's own QR code

Every card has one, made when you signed up. It is the code in Scan & Share on Home and on the Share & QR screen, and on Links & QR its row is marked the card's own. It always opens your card, its scans are counted on that row, and it cannot be deleted.

A tracked QR code

With Pro you can make as many more as you like on Links & QR, one for each place you hand your card out: a box of printed cards, a stand at an event, your email signature. Each has its own address, its own QR code and its own numbers, so you can see which place brings people. See Making a tracked link or QR code.

Pro is $0.99 a month.

Which one to use

  • Just sharing your card: your card's own code is all you need.
  • Printing a code, or putting one somewhere you want to measure: make a tracked one for that place first.

The QR code on your card page

With QR code on the card switched on, your card shows a code of its own, for someone standing in front of you. That code, and your card's plain address (what Copy Card Link copies), are not tracked links: they open your card directly, so opening them counts as a view of your card, not as a scan. See Showing a QR code on the card itself and What counts as a scan?.
