![]() QR codes are now an essential low input high return method for businesses to connect with their customers quickly and easily. Why you should use QR codes for your business In 2020-21, world events led to the rapid acceleration of the trend toward contactless payments, menus, check-ins, and verifications, which dramatically boosted the use of QR codes.Android operating systems also soon adopted the technology, making QR code scanning as simple as taking a picture for anyone with a smartphone. In 2017, Apple integrated QR code reading technology into the iPhone camera with an iOS 11 update. ![]() The increased interest in QR codes was partly a result of two distinct developments. QR codes made a big comeback in the US and Europe after decades of moderate use, though they enjoyed steady popularity throughout Asia over the years. A device such as a smartphone camera reads a QR code top to bottom and right to left, resulting in a significant increase in the information storage capacity. ![]() Traditional bar codes have a smaller storage capacity because digital devices read them top to bottom with information usually arranged alphanumerically. QR codes (Quick Response codes) made their debut in the 1990s, advancing the technology even further by increasing speed and storage capacity compared to simple bar codes. It then evolved into the bar code found in supermarkets throughout the world in the 1970s and 80s. I am going to have to change my credit card number to avoid future charges from this scam of a company.The earliest versions of this technology were machine-readable tracking codes for parts and equipment in the 1950s and 60s. So I log in to their website to edit my billing information/cancel my account and when I attempt to load the billing page under my account it either hangs indefinitely or says "you have been successfully logged out" without ever providing me with an opportunity to cancel my account or change my billing information. The renewal notice came from and the body of the email said reply to this email if you have any questions, so I reply asking for the charge to be reversed and my subscription cancelled and I get an automated reply saying "this is an automated email and you will not receive a response", from the email What kind of company doesn't monitor Especially when directing customers to email that point of contact for support?!! Well fast forward one year to now, and I receive a billing notice to let me know that my annual subscription has just been renewed.įirst of all, I had no awareness that this would renew automatically. It went much like many others, start a free trial, find out that we are being held ransom with qr codes that have already been printed and distributed as part of a campaign, pay the ransom in order to ensure that our campaign is still a success. I thought I would chime in with my own experience. I feel like the only right thing for me to do is to actively let all of my colleagues and clients know how dishonest the sales tactics of QR Code Generator is before they put themselves in the same awkward situation than I am in. Judging by their copy pasted-replies on the negative reviews I can see that they unfortunately have no intention on changing this. I even went back through the full process of creating another QR code on the website to check where I could have missed it, and at no point they make it clear that I was using a trial code that would end up being deactivated until I paid for it after.Īfter looking at the reviews I feel cheated on and I find it particularly dishonest for a business to rely on misleading people for sales this way. I'm usually very wary about the so-called free trials, but in here no credit cards info were asked and no info that the entire code would stop working instead for one feature. I have now printed all of my business cards with their QR code on them, and it has now been deactivated, telling me that I need to purchase a membership to make it work again. ![]() The word "Free" kept popping everywhere in the process of creating the QR code, free QR code, create a free account, etc. I should have read the reviews and avoided their services.
