Introduction

For small and medium businesses, a QR tag is a cost-effective way to make yourself instantly contactable — without printing a new set of business cards every time your details change. Whether you run a shop, a restaurant, or an office, this guide shows you how to set up a business QR tag from scratch.

What Information Should a Business QR Tag Display?

The right information depends on your business type, but a strong business QR tag typically includes:

  • Business name and category
  • Primary contact number (ideally WhatsApp-enabled)
  • Website URL
  • Google Maps link or address
  • Opening hours
  • A Google Review link (to encourage reviews)
  • Menu or order link (for restaurants and cafes)

Step-by-Step Setup for a Business Tag

Step 1: Create your business tag

Go to ScanItUp and create a new tag under the Business category. Fill in your business details completely. Every field you complete is one more reason for a customer to stay on your scan page.

Step 2: Customise your QR sticker

Open the QR Sticker Designer. Choose a frame that reflects your brand personality. Add your business logo (Pro plan). Choose brand-matching colours. Add a short CTA like “Scan to reach us” or “Scan for our menu.”

Step 3: Print and place

Print your sticker on high-quality paper or order printed stickers. Place them strategically:

  • Shop front window — visible to walk-by customers
  • Reception desk — easy for visitors to scan
  • Business card — alongside your printed details
  • Tables and menus — in a restaurant or cafe
  • Invoice footer — so customers can contact you after a purchase

Step 4: Enable Pro features for better customer contact

With the Pro plan, you will receive instant WhatsApp notifications when someone scans your business tag. For a retail shop, this means knowing when a customer is at your door after hours. For a contractor, it means knowing when a potential client has just viewed your contact page.

Keep Your Details Updated

One of the most powerful aspects of a dynamic QR business tag is that you can update it any time. Changed your phone number? Updated your opening hours? Added a new menu? Update your ScanItUp tag and the change is live instantly — no new sticker required.

Conclusion

A QR tag for your business is one of the most practical and affordable professional tools available today. It makes you instantly reachable, keeps your contact details current, and gives customers a modern, frictionless way to connect with you.
