Troubleshooting

Redirect Rule Not Triggering

What to do when a geo, device, scheduled, or scan-limit redirect is not working as expected.

General Diagnostic Steps

1

Verify the rule is active

Open the QR code in Edit mode → Settings tab → Redirect Rules section. Check that the rule is enabled (the toggle is on).

2

Check rule priority

Rules are evaluated in priority order: Geo > Scheduled > Device > Scan-Limit. A higher-priority rule that matches will take precedence. If your Geo rule fires for a location and your Device rule also matches, only the Geo rule will execute.

3

Verify your plan includes this rule type

Some rules require specific plans. Geo-targeting requires Premium+, Device and Scheduled redirects require Pro+, Scan-Limit requires Basic+. If you are on a lower plan, the rule will not trigger.

Geo-Targeting Not Triggering

  • Confirm you are physically in or near the targeted location, or use a VPN to test from that region

  • City-level targeting has ~92–95% accuracy — there is a small chance the detected city is incorrect due to IP geolocation limitations

  • VPN users may appear in a different location — test without a VPN

  • WiFi may provide less accurate location than mobile data — test on cellular

Scheduled Redirect Not Triggering

  • All schedule times are in IST (India Standard Time). Confirm the current IST time falls within your configured window

  • Check that the correct days are selected for the rule. If you set 'Monday only' and today is Tuesday, the rule will not trigger

  • The scheduled redirect only applies to new scans — a scan that was already in progress before the time window ended will still go to the scheduled URL

Device Redirect Not Triggering

  • Test on a different device to confirm the device you are using is correctly identified (try both iPhone and Android)

  • Some privacy-focused browsers mask their User-Agent, which can prevent accurate device detection — these will fall through to the default URL

  • Check that you have entered the correct URL for the device type that should trigger
