How do I create an email QR code?

A Email QR code makes sense if you want users to write to you directly after the scan instead of typing your address first. This works well for flyers, shop windows, support, quotation requests, reception or classic contact points where a written initial contact is desired.

step by step

  1. On the home page, open Type e-mail.
  2. Enter the correct destination address.
  3. If it makes sense, add a clear subject to get you started.
  4. Generate the QR code and test it directly on your smartphone.
  5. Only then print it on flyers, signs or documents.

Tip: If possible, use an address that is actually read regularly. A perfectly printed QR code is of no use if the target email gets lost in everyday life.

When does this work particularly well?

Email QR codes work well for quote requests, support, callback requests, B2B contacts and wherever a written history makes more sense than a spontaneous call. This saves time for both sides, especially with more complex requests.

That's why this type of QR is often better suited for offices, agencies, tradesmen, consultancies or practices than for very spontaneous walk-in use cases.

Typical mistakes

  • Entering an incorrect or outdated email address
  • Do not test the QR code yourself before printing
  • Do not add a clear call to action such as “Request a quote”.
  • Mix multiple teams using the same address
  • Use the code in places where users would be more likely to call directly

What makes sense next

When email is the better choice

Email is particularly suitable when an inquiry does not need to be resolved immediately in a conversation, but rather needs to be clearly documented. This applies to quotation requests, support cases with details, initial B2B contacts, applications or queries with attachments. In these cases, email is often more structured than WhatsApp and calmer than a spontaneous call.

Especially for agencies, consultancies, trades, real estate or more complex services, an email QR code is often the more professional first step.

Which information makes it easier to get started

  • A subject that already sets the occasion
  • A clear CTA like “Request a quote” or “Write support”
  • An email address that is really actively looked after
  • For teams, a clear recipient instead of collective chaos

The more clearly the first email is prepared, the more likely it is that the scan will actually turn into a meaningful request.
