App Download QR Code Best Practices
Follow these tips to maximize the performance of your app download QR codes.
Set a Fallback URL
Configure a fallback URL (your website's app page) for users scanning from desktop or unsupported devices.
Use UTM Parameters
Add UTM tags to your store links to track which physical campaigns generate the most app installs in your analytics.
Test Both Platforms
Scan the QR code from both an iPhone and an Android device to verify the smart routing works correctly.
Pair with App Store Optimization
Ensure your App Store and Google Play listings are fully optimized (screenshots, description, keywords) to maximize conversion after the scan.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about app download QR codes answered.
How does the smart OS detection work?
When the QR code is scanned, our edge server reads the User-Agent header to detect iOS or Android, then redirects to the corresponding store URL in under 100ms.
What if someone scans from a desktop?
You can set a fallback URL that desktop users are redirected to — typically your website's app download page with both store badges.
Can I track how many installs came from the QR code?
The QR code tracks scans and click-throughs. For actual install attribution, use Firebase Dynamic Links or AppsFlyer in conjunction.
Does it work with Huawei AppGallery?
Yes. You can configure a third routing rule for Huawei devices that redirects to the AppGallery listing.
