Peer Reviewed & Fact Checked

1. What to Link

* Full product specifications and comparison data. * Customer reviews aggregated from multiple platforms. * Stock availability at other branches. * Size guide or fit chart for apparel.

2. Replacing Long Copy

A shelf-edge label is narrow. A QR replaces paragraphs of spec text and links to richer content including images and video.

3. Scan-to-Buy

For smaller stores without an e-commerce presence, link to a universal product search on a comparison site or to your own online store for home delivery.

4. Label Management

A URL on your own domain allows updating product information without reprinting. Use a redirect per product category or SKU.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should every product have a QR on the shelf tag?

High-consideration products (electronics, appliances, furniture) benefit most. Simple FMCG products see less ROI.

Can the QR replace the price?

No. Prices must be clearly displayed per consumer protection law in most countries. QR is supplementary.
