An App Link QR code sends each person to the right store for their phone: iPhone users go to the App Store and Android users go to Google Play. Use it on packaging, posters and in-store displays to get more installs.

​
Before you start

  • Copy the link to your app’s App Store page, its Google Play page, or both. You need at least one.

​
Create it

1

Open the QR code builder

Click Create QR in the sidebar.
2

Choose App Link

In Choose QR type, click App Link. The builder moves to Create content.
3

Enter the app name

Type your app’s name in App Name. It appears in My QR Codes instead of the store link.
4

Add the store links

Paste your App Store link in App Store link (iOS), your Google Play link in Google Play link (Android), or both.
5

Name your QR code (optional)

Type a name in Name your QR Code to find the code later. Only you see it.
6

Continue to the design

Click Next.
7

Customize and create

Style your code in Customize & Download, then click Create QR.
You can type only the app ID instead of the full link. When you leave the field, GetQR completes it: an iOS ID becomes https://apps.apple.com/app/<ID> and an Android package name becomes https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=<package>.

​
Settings

You must fill in at least one of the two store links.

​
What people see when they scan

There is no landing page. GetQR checks the scanning device and opens the store straight away:
  • iPhone or iPad: the App Store link.
  • Android: the Google Play link.
  • Any other device, such as a computer: the App Store link, or the Google Play link if you only added that one.
If you only add one store link, phones on the other platform also open that link. Every scan is counted in your statistics.

​
Use cases

  • Product packaging and manuals that point to a companion app.
  • Posters, flyers and table tents that promote your app.
  • Checkout counters and receipts that invite customers to install a loyalty app.
  • Trade-show booths and business cards for app makers.

​
Common issues

Fill in App Name. It can be up to 40 characters.
You only added an App Store link, so every device goes there. Edit the QR code and add a Google Play link (Android). The printed code stays the same.
