By business type
QR codes by business type in India
Not every shop needs the same setup. Here is the exact QR mix that works for the most common Indian small businesses — and why each one earns its place.
Kirana / grocery store
UPI payment QR + WhatsApp order-ahead QR
Stick a UPI payment QR at the counter so customers pay over GPay or PhonePe with zero MDR — no swipe machine rental, no card fees eating into thin grocery margins. Add a WhatsApp QR near the entrance so regulars scan and send their monthly ration list ahead of time, and you have their order packed before they walk in.
Boutique / retail shop
Product / link-in-bio QR on tags + UPI QR
Print a link-in-bio QR on your garment tags and shelf labels that opens your full catalogue or Instagram — shoppers browse every colour and size you could not fit on the rack, and your followers grow with each sale. Pair it with a UPI QR at billing so a customer who fell in love with a kurta can pay in seconds without hunting for cash.
Salon & beauty / local services
WhatsApp booking QR + Google review QR
Put a WhatsApp booking QR at your reception and on your mirror so clients scan and message to lock a slot — fewer no-shows and no missed calls while your hands are busy. Hand over a Google review QR right after a great haircut or facial, while the client is happy, to steadily climb the local map pack that decides who walks in next.
Freelancers & tradespeople
Digital business-card (vCard) QR + UPI QR
Electricians, plumbers and tutors should carry a vCard QR on a card or van sticker — one scan saves your name, number and service area straight to the customer's phone, so they call you first next time, not a competitor. Follow the job with a UPI QR on your invoice so you collect payment on the spot instead of chasing it for weeks.
Small business QR — FAQs
What QR codes does a small business actually need?
Most small businesses start with 3: a UPI payment QR (at the counter), a digital menu or catalogue QR (for products/services), and a business card QR (for networking). All three fit on the free plan.
Can I manage multiple QR codes for my business?
Yes — the dashboard shows all your QR codes in one place with individual analytics, edit controls, and download options. The free plan supports 3 active QR codes; paid plans go up to unlimited.
Is ₹79/month worth it for a small business?
The Basic plan at ₹79/month gives you 5 QR codes, unlimited scans, SVG export, advanced analytics, and no branding. That's less than printing 1 menu per month. Most customers who start free upgrade within 60 days.
Do my customers need any app to scan?
No — any standard phone camera scans QR codes on iOS 13+ and Android 9+. No app download, no account, no friction for your customers.
Can I use one QR code for multiple purposes?
You'll need separate QR codes for different purposes (e.g., one for UPI payment, one for your menu). But our dashboard makes managing multiple QR codes simple and you can update each independently.
