Read with any Phone's Camera
You can read a GS1 QR Code with any QR Code Reader like your iPhone camera. A GS1 QR Code always contains a default link where you will be redirected to.
Link Types
However, a GS1 QR Code might contain more than the default URL. With Link Types you can specify links depending on the use case. This could be anything from the product description, nutritional details, allergen information, and user manuals to promotional content and certification data.
GS1 QR Code Scanner
To test and debug a GS1 QR Code we recommend the GS1 QR Code Scanner. When scanning a valid GS1 QR Code, the scanner shows
- the default URL a user is being redirect to
- one button for each Link Type
