product-page qr codes for packaging & in-store

preview

Shopify use: Links customers from physical packaging, print inserts, or in-store displays to a Shopify product or collection page. For discount codes, enter the code text directly (e.g. BFCM20), the QR will encode the raw string for use with a dedicated landing page that auto-applies the discount.

> worked example

A Shopify merchant creating packaging inserts enters their product URL https://yourstore.com/products/example-product, sets pixel size to 512, keeps the default dark-on-white colors, and instantly sees a live canvas preview. They download the PNG and drop it into their Canva packaging template. Customers scanning the QR on the box land directly on the product page, reviews, upsell blocks, and all.

takeaway, A 512 px QR at M-level error correction is print-ready for most packaging; scale to 1024 px for large-format signage.
