Overview

QR codes are a simple way to take someone from the physical world to the right place in your app. In Zite, they can be generated to open URLs, contact details, maps, events, payment links, and other structured information. When someone scans a QR code, their device opens the encoded destination immediately. That makes them useful for posters, packaging, receipts, kiosks, event check-ins, and internal operations.
If your Zite app requires authentication, people who scan the QR code will still need to sign in before they can access the app.

​
Common ways to use QR codes

  • URLs — The most common use case. Link people to a live Zite app, a specific page, or any website.
  • Contact info — Encode a name, phone number, and email in vCard format so scanning adds the contact to the device.
  • Geographic coordinates — Open a specific location in Apple Maps, Google Maps, or another map app.
  • Calendar events — Let someone scan a code and add an event directly to their calendar.
  • Payment info — Send people to bank details, invoice instructions, or a Stripe payment link.
  • Scanning to ingest data — Use a phone camera to scan a QR code and instantly pull the encoded value into a workflow, record lookup, or operational process inside your app.

Generate and scan QR codes

QR codes in Zite are generated for free and on demand through your app logic. They are not stored in your database. Simply tell the Agent how you’d like a QR code to work, and let Zite create the logic for you. Prompt for generating QR codes in Zite QR codes also work well for operational workflows, especially when a phone scan needs to ingest data quickly. For example, an employee could use their phone to scan a QR code attached to a shelf, bin, or product and instantly pull up the matching stock information in Zite. From there, they could check inventory levels, confirm item details, log updates, or start a reorder workflow without searching for the record manually. This kind of setup is especially useful for warehouses, retail backrooms, equipment rooms, and field teams who need fast access to the right record while moving around. QR code example in Zite
