Tips for Bulk Coupon Codes

  • Test a generated QR code with a smartphone camera before distributing or printing the full batch.
  • Double-check coupon values and expiry dates before generating the batch.
  • Verify that each coupon code is unique across all spreadsheet rows.
  • Review scan or usage limits if your promotion requires single-use redemption.

What Happens After Creation?

Each uploaded coupon record produces its own dynamic QR code and dedicated mobile landing page. Generated codes can be downloaded together as a ZIP archive for immediate printing or digital distribution. You can monitor scan activity, track redemptions, and edit individual coupon details directly from the dashboard at any time without reprinting physical codes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I update individual coupon codes after bulk creation?

Yes. Because these are dynamic QR codes, you can edit individual coupon details or destination settings from My QR Codes at any time without reprinting the QR codes.

How can I track which coupon codes have been scanned or redeemed?

You can track scan counts in real time from your dashboard under My QR Codes, or open individual QR code analytics to view scan dates, device types, and locations.

Can I limit a coupon code to a single scan?

Yes. If you need single-use redemption, you can configure scan limit settings in your dashboard to cap each QR code at a maximum number of scans.
