How do I create QR codes for Shopify products?
Create a QR code for a Shopify product by copying the product page URL, pasting it into a QR code generator, choosing size and error correction, then downloading the PNG. CrossKit QR Code Generator runs in your browser. Use QR codes on Shopify thank-you cards, packing slips, social posts, and in-person pop-up shops so customers scan directly to your product or store.
A QR code on a Shopify packing slip turns one sale into a reorder opportunity without another ad click.
Steps
-
Copy the Shopify product URL
Use the canonical product page link, not the admin preview.
-
Shorten the URL first
A short link makes a cleaner QR code. Use URL Shortener before generating.
-
Generate and download the QR code
Pick medium error correction and ~300 px for print.
-
Add to packing slips and thank-you cards
Include a simple call-to-action: “Scan to reorder” or “Leave a review”.
Example
A Shopify clothing brand adds a QR code to every packing slip that opens a “Shop the look” collection page. Each slip also says “Scan for 10% off your next order”. The QR is a short link so the code stays clean even at small print sizes.
Common mistakes
-
Using the admin preview URL
Admin links require login. Use the public product page URL.
-
Forgetting to test with a logged-out phone
Scan in an incognito browser to confirm the page loads for anyone.
