How Scan Tracking Works (Behind the Scenes)

How QR Scan Tracking Works

Every QR scan on ShopSearching is recorded securely and accurately.

---

Scan Types Tracked

ShopSearching tracks scans separately for:

• Google Maps QR scans

• ShopSearching QR scans

Each scan type has:

• Independent counters

• Separate timestamps

• Dedicated analytics

What Is Recorded for Each Scan

For every scan, the system records:

• Scan type (Google or ShopSearching)

• Timestamp of last scan

• Total scan count

• Daily scan snapshots

This data is stored only for active subscriptions.

Subscription Protection

QR scans:

• Work only for active subscriptions

• Show a subscription prompt if expired

• Protect analytics integrity

This ensures clean, meaningful data.
