QR codes for app downloads
One QR code that sends every phone to the right store.
Short answer
Use one onestore.link where you would have put two store links: it sends an iPhone to the App Store, an Android phone to Google Play, and a computer to a page with both store buttons and a QR code. It is a redirect, not an SDK, so nothing changes in your app. The dashboard makes its QR code for free, and scans of that code are recorded under their own source, qr, instead of passing for direct visits. A free link costs nothing and is deleted after 30 days without a visitor; Pro, at $3.99 a month or $39.90 a year per link, keeps it for good and shows where its visitors came from.

A QR code printed on packaging, a flyer, or a poster has to work for both iPhone and Android users — but you can only encode one URL. Point it at the App Store and Android users hit a dead end; point it at Google Play and iPhone users do. onestore.link gives you a single URL to encode that detects the device and routes each scanner to the correct store automatically.
The problem
- A QR code only holds one URL, but your app lives on two stores.
- App Store links 404 on Android; Play Store links 404 on iOS.
- Once a code is printed you can't change where it points — a hardcoded store link is permanent.
- Generic shorteners don't detect the device, so scanners often land on the wrong store.
With onestore.link
- Encode one onestore.link URL — iOS scanners go to the App Store, Android scanners to Google Play.
- Update the destination URLs anytime without reprinting the code.
- Desktop scanners (rare, but it happens) get a clean landing page with both buttons.
- Pro links add scan analytics so you can see which print run actually drove installs.
How to set it up
No SDK, no rebuild. Just a URL.
- 1
Create your link
Search your app, grab your iOS and Android store URLs, and generate a short onestore.link in about a minute.
- 2
Turn it into a QR code
Paste the onestore.link URL into any QR generator. The code is just an encoding of that URL — nothing app-specific is baked in.
- 3
Print it anywhere
Packaging, posters, business cards, restaurant tables, event badges. Every scan resolves to the right store at scan time.
Frequently asked questions
Can I change where the QR code points after it's printed?
Yes. The QR code encodes your onestore.link URL, not the store links directly. Update the iOS / Android destinations in your dashboard and every existing printed code follows — no reprint needed.
Does it work if someone scans on a desktop webcam?
Desktop scanners land on a lightweight page showing both store buttons, so nobody hits a dead end.
Can I track how many people scanned?
Free links redirect without analytics. Pro links record each scan with platform, country, and source so you can compare print campaigns.
