4. Enter the Target URLs to your App Store Pages

Now, a list of possible Target URLs for your App Store QR Code will appear. Fill out each row as needed and leave out those you don't have a URL for. The following services are integrated:

  • Apple App Store
  • Google Play Store
  • Huawei AppGalery
  • Windows Marketplace
  • Amazon Store

You may also set a fallback URL in case the user is following the short URL from a PC or another phone type.

Remember: A meaningful Short-URL not only looks better if you share the link directly instead of the QR Code, it can also help you identify and organize your QR Codes at a later point.

7. Apply a design and download your App Store QR Code

Find your App Store QR Code in your List of QR Codes  or within the folder you created it in. Click on the QR Code to apply a design and/or download it!
