Frequently Asked Questions
How do I create a QR code for my business address?
Simply enter your complete business address in our QR code generator above. The system will automatically convert it to Google Maps coordinates. You can then customize the design and download your QR code for printing or digital use.
Do customers need Google Maps app to scan the QR code?
No, customers can use any QR code scanner or their phone's built-in camera. The QR code will open Google Maps in their browser or app, whichever is available on their device.
Can I update the address after creating the QR code?
If you create a dynamic QR code, yes! You can update the location anytime without changing the printed QR code. Static QR codes cannot be edited after creation.
What size should I print my location QR code?
For storefronts and signs, we recommend at least 2x2 inches (5x5 cm). For billboards or signs viewed from a distance, use larger sizes proportionally - about 1/10th of the viewing distance.
Will the QR code work if my business moves?
With a dynamic QR code, you can simply update the address in your dashboard. With a static QR code, you would need to create and distribute a new QR code with the updated address.
