Where to put your review QR code
Put the invitation where someone can understand it and choose to use it in their own time.
Start after the experience
A receipt, checkout card or take-home note can provide an opportunity to share feedback after a visit. Do not make the code an obstacle to payment, support or leaving the premises. Avoid deciding who receives it based on whether they seemed satisfied.
Use a clearly labelled placement
| Business | Possible placement | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Restaurant or café | Bill folder or receipt | Keep the request voluntary. |
| Salon | Take-home appointment card | No benefit tied to a review. |
| Clinic | Optional take-home card | Avoid sensitive medical information. |
| Retail | Receipt or separate counter card | Distinct from payment. |
| Gym | Exit desk or member card | The same options for all members. |
| Hotel | Checkout or guest card | Correct listing and eligible guests. |
Test the actual printed code
Check several phones, viewing distances and lighting conditions. Use readable labels and enough clear space around the QR code. A customer should be able to identify the business and purpose before scanning.
Check the invitation rules first
Google supports sharing review links and QR codes, with neutral requests for genuine experiences. Yelp does not permit review requests. For another platform, check the permitted method before placing a review invitation next to its name.
If your QR opens a managed page, that destination must stay active. Test it after changes to the host or platform links, and plan a handover before cancelling the service.
Want this handled rather than explained?
We build the page, print the code and run the whole thing — without the sentiment filter that most cheap tools ship. From ₹499 a month, no lock-in.
