Retargeting QR codes

Turn every scan into an ad audience

Add your Meta, Google, TikTok, or LinkedIn pixels to any dynamic QR code. When someone scans, they can join your retargeting audience — so print, packaging, and out-of-home finally feed your paid campaigns.

Why it matters

Offline scans shouldn’t be a dead end

Physical marketing is hard to measure and impossible to follow up on — until now. A retargeting QR code bridges the gap between the real world and your ad platforms, so the people who scan your poster, flyer, or product can be re-engaged with the campaigns you’re already running online. For more ways to put codes to work, see our QR code marketing ideas for small businesses.

How it works

From scan to audience in three steps

  1. 01

    Add your pixels

    Paste your Meta, Google, TikTok, or LinkedIn pixel IDs into any dynamic code. Enable one platform or all four.

  2. 02

    People scan

    A scan routes briefly through Global QR Codes. Your pixels fire in the visitor’s browser — after consent where it’s required — then they’re sent straight to your destination.

  3. 03

    Retarget on your platforms

    Scanners flow into your ad audiences automatically, ready for you to advertise to on Meta, Google, TikTok, and LinkedIn.

FAQ

Retargeting QR code questions

What is a retargeting QR code?

A dynamic QR code with your advertising pixels attached. When someone scans it, they can be added to your retargeting audiences on Meta, Google, TikTok, or LinkedIn — so you can advertise to them afterwards.

Do I need consent to use retargeting pixels?

In many regions, yes. We show a consent prompt to visitors in the EU, UK, and Switzerland before any pixel loads, honour Global Privacy Control signals, and exclude bots. You remain responsible for your own privacy disclosures and for how the ad platforms use the data.

Which platforms are supported?

Meta (Facebook) Pixel, Google tag, TikTok Pixel, and the LinkedIn Insight Tag.

Do I need to reprint my code to add or change pixels?

No. Because it’s a dynamic code, you can add, change, or remove pixels any time and the printed code keeps working.

Is this free?

You can start for free. Retargeting pixels are a Pro feature, available on Pro and Business plans.
