Each QR code you generate encodes a unique link. When a customer scans it, Qtap runs the action you configured — issuing a stamp, adding points, or processing a redemption.

​
Creating a QR Code

Go to QR Codes in the sidebar and click Generate QR Code.
QR Codes list page with the Generate QR Code button highlighted
1

Give it a name

Enter a name in the Name field. This is for your reference only — customers do not see it. Use something like “Counter — Stamp Card A” so you can tell codes apart.
2

Choose the type

Select the Type:
  • Reusable — the same QR code can be scanned any number of times (or up to a limit you set)
  • Batch — generates multiple single-use QR codes at once, each with a unique code
3

Set the action

Select what scanning this QR code should do:
  • Stamp — issues a stamp on a specific stamp card. You must also select which stamp card from the dropdown that appears.
  • Points — awards a set number of points to a points program. You must select the program and enter the points value.
  • Redeem — lets a customer redeem a reward they have already earned.
4

Assign a location (optional)

If you want this QR code to work only at a specific location, select it from the Location dropdown. Leave it set to All locations if the code should work anywhere.
5

Set limits (optional)

Toggle on Max scans if you want to cap how many times a reusable code can be scanned. Enter a number in the field that appears.Toggle on Expiry date and enter a date if the code should stop working after a certain point.
6

Customize the appearance (optional)

Change the QR color and Background color fields to match your branding. A preview updates immediately on screen.

You can also view your QR codes in gallery mode by clicking the grid icon near the top right of the QR Codes page. This makes it easier to visually distinguish codes at a glance.

​
Batch QR Codes

If you selected Batch as the type, enter the number of codes to generate in the Quantity field before saving. Qtap creates that many unique codes with the same action and settings. Download them all at once as a ZIP file or PDF from the QR Codes list.
Batch codes are single-use — each code can only be scanned once. If you need codes that work multiple times, use the Reusable type with a max scans limit instead.
