Modern Retail Using QR Codes in Your Business

QR codes are everywhere today — on pizza boxes, flyers, receipts, signs, shop doors, and even plants and statues! Consumers have learned how easy it is to scan QR codes with their smartphone camera. Once scanned, QR codes can send the user to a PDF, website or video, and much more.

A QR code is a type of barcode anyone can scan and read with the camera in their smartphone. QR code stands for Quick Response code; users can scan the QR code and instantly access the information or be directed somewhere such as a website to take action.
