What the site does
QR Shops is our main product. Shop owners create and update a hosted menu or catalogue with categories, prices, item photos, opening hours and contact links. Optional ordering brings table and room orders into the owner dashboard. Indian shops can add their UPI ID so customers can pay from the same shop page.
Start with a Free shop, or choose Premium for ₹299 per month per shop for photo templates, a branded cover, featured items, announcements, delivery orders and engagement reports. Your team fulfils delivery orders and verifies payments. Compare QR Shop plans or try ABC Restaurant, our working example.
Free tools for your business
Our free tools include 13 QR code types and 14 barcode symbologies, bulk generation from a spreadsheet, printable labels, scanning and print calculators. Use them for a payment sign, guest Wi-Fi or product labels, and build a QR Shop when you want a complete customer page.
Which parts run where
| Feature | Where it runs |
|---|---|
| QR and barcode generation, previews, downloads | Your browser. The content you type is encoded locally and is not sent to us. |
| Bulk generation, label PDFs, scanning an image or camera frame | Your browser. |
| QR Shops hosted pages, orders, owner dashboard | Our servers — a hosted page has to be served and orders have to be stored. |
| AI experience builder | Our servers, which call a language model with what you describe. |
| Destination checking in the scanner | Our servers, because the link has to be fetched from somewhere that is not your browser. |
The short version: static generation is local; anything hosted is not. The privacy page is the detailed statement.
What it costs
Every generator, calculator and export on this site is free, with no watermark and no signup, and you may use the output commercially. A free account is needed only for hosted QR Shops pages, because those have to be stored and served. Everything available today is free.
Advertising
This app currently loads no advertising script and shows no ads. If that changes, this section and the privacy page will say so and describe exactly what is added.
Good to know
- Scanning depends on your printer, the surface and the reader, so print a proof and test it. Our own checks decode our exports with our own scanner, which is not the same as your hardware.
- Payments are not verified automatically. In QR Shops a customer's claim to have paid stays a claim until the owner confirms it, with the method, reference and time recorded.
- Barcode images are drawn, not issued. A retail EAN or UPC number must be licensed from GS1 before you print it.
- The scanner's destination check reports reachability and redirects. It is not a malware or phishing reputation service.
How to reach the tools
