Creating Many QR Codes at Once

If you need a large number of QR codes — for example, 50 product QR codes, or 100 event badges — each code is created individually, either one at a time in the dashboard or programmatically through the SMLLR REST API (Premium plan). Each code gets its own destination URL, name, and tracking ID from the start.

This approach is used for:
- Product catalogues with unique URLs per item
- Events with individual attendee QR codes
- Real estate listings with per-property QR codes
- Retail chains with per-location QR codes

As you create each code, give it a clear internal name (e.g. 'Product SKU 1234') and assign it to a campaign if you're tracking a related group of codes together. Consistent naming makes it much easier to match each code back to its physical product or location later, especially once you export the whole set.

For teams that already have product or order data in their own system, the SMLLR REST API (Premium plan) lets you create and update QR codes programmatically, one call at a time, as part of your existing fulfilment or content pipeline — rather than creating each one by hand in the dashboard.

Once your codes are created, select them in the QR Codes list and use Download Selected to export the whole set together as a single ZIP file — see the Bulk Download article below for the full walkthrough. Each code remains individually trackable in your dashboard after export.
