Location QR codes

Open maps apps with your address or coordinates pre-filled.

Related in the dashboard: locations.create, locations.edit

Location codes deep-link into Apple Maps, Google Maps, or other handlers using a geo: URI or maps search query.

When to use location codes

  • Storefront windows and wayfinding signage
  • Event venues and parking instructions
  • Field teams sending customers to a pin

Create a location code

  1. Select Create codeLocation.
  2. Enter a street address or latitude/longitude pair.
  3. Optionally set a label shown in maps apps.
  4. Style the QR and save.

Accuracy tips

  • Verify the pin on a phone before printing — geocoding can offset rural addresses.
  • For multi-building campuses, prefer coordinates over free-text addresses.
  • Combine with Stores when you manage many physical locations under one brand.

Analytics

Location codes still record scans like any other product type, so you can compare signage performance across sites.
