QR Code Marketing: Share Links & Test Instantly

GoHighLevel has supercharged its QR code marketing with two high-impact features designed to save time and reduce friction in your workflow:

1. Shareable QR Code Links
Forget downloading files—just grab the new QR code link and send it wherever you need. It’s perfect for quick shares in texts, emails, or GHL funnels, and keeps everything fast and flexible.

2. Real-Time Testing During QR Code Creation
Previously, you had to save and generate your QR Code before testing if it worked. Not anymore. GHL now captures and temporarily stores your input (like a URL or phone number) during the setup process, allowing you to test the QR code marketing functionality right then and there—before saving or sharing it.

Together, these updates remove the guesswork. You see what works, share it instantly, and move forward with confidence.

Before this update, working with QR codes inside GHL followed a more manual path:

• You’d build the QR code, save it, download the image.
• Then, you’d test it on your phone to see if it worked.
• If it didn’t? Back to the drawing board to edit, re-save, re-download.

That cycle was functional—but clunky.

Now, the workflow is faster and smarter:

• Enter your URL or phone number into the QR Code Builder.
• GHL instantly stores the data temporarily so you can test functionality in real time.
• A copyable QR Code link is displayed alongside the image, ready to share without downloading anything.

What used to take three steps—create, save, test—now happens all at once. It’s a smoother process that saves agencies time and helps marketers move quicker.

QR codes are showing up on everything these days—but just slapping one on your flyer isn’t enough. If it doesn’t work or points to the wrong place, your whole campaign can fall flat.

That’s why this update is a game changer for QR code marketing.

Real-time testing eliminates the guesswork. You no longer need to cross your fingers and hope your link works after downloading and printing. Now, you can verify everything works before hitting save.

Shareable links create flexibility. Whether you’re embedding in digital content, texting a client, or adding it to a funnel, the new link-sharing option makes your QR codes more accessible and easier to use across channels.

If you’re moving fast and mostly digital, this takes a lot of the guesswork out. You’ll spend less time fixing broken links and more time launching campaigns that actually work.

If you’ve ever wasted time testing QR codes after downloading them—or sharing them through clunky workarounds—this update solves it. Now, you can test your QR code marketing on the fly and share a link instantly, right inside GHL. Here’s how to set it up in a few quick steps:

1.1 Go to the left-side Main Menu inside your GoHighLevel account.
1.2 Click Sites > QR Code.

2.1 From the list, pick the function for your QR code—website, phone, text, email, etc.
2.2 Tap your selection to open the detail settings.

3.1 Type in your URL, phone number, or other destination info.
3.2 GHL now stores this data in real time—no need to click Save first.

4.1 Look at the QR code preview that appears on the right.
4.2 Open your phone’s camera and scan it right away to make sure it works.

5.1 Below the preview, you’ll see a new Link icon.
5.2 Click to copy the shareable QR code link—ready for SMS, funnels, or email.

6.1 Planning to use the QR code on printed materials? Click the download button.
6.2 Save the file so it’s ready to add to signs, mailers, or brochures.

That’s it. QR code creation, testing, and sharing—all handled in seconds, no guesswork required.

Managing multiple campaigns or juggling different platforms? These updates will save you a ton of time. Here’s how to use them to your advantage:

Use QR Code Links in Funnels and Email Campaigns
Instead of uploading images, drop the link directly into a button, email, or SMS. It’s cleaner, faster, and scales better for automated workflows.

Test Live With Clients During Approvals
Hop on a call, scan the code, and confirm it works while your client’s watching. No chasing down fixes later.

Speed Up Print-to-Digital Campaigns
Use QR code marketing for postcards, business cards, or brochures—and test them instantly before printing. You’ll avoid expensive print re-runs from incorrect links.

Track QR Performance with UTM Tags
When building QR codes that link to URLs, append UTM parameters to measure performance in Google Analytics or GHL reporting dashboards.

Use Internal QR Codes for Staff Training or Event Check-ins
 Need to send your team or attendees to something specific—fast? Create a QR code and share the link where you already talk: Slack, WhatsApp, inbox.

Bottom line? These updates help you move from planning to launching without all the usual hassle.

This update might look small on the surface—but for active marketers, it unlocks a smoother, more professional way to work with QR codes.

You no longer have to juggle saved images, download files, or re-test broken links. Now, everything happens right in the Builder:

• You type.
• You test.
• You share.

It’s a big win for speed, accuracy, and client trust. Agencies can deliver polished QR code marketing faster. Freelancers avoid messy workflows. And anyone running a marketing campaign can go from idea to execution with fewer steps in between.

In short, it’s a friction-free way to turn QR codes into a real tool—not a tedious task.

After using the new features in GHL’s QR Code Builder, here’s what you can expect:

Faster Campaign Launches
You’ll save minutes on every QR code marketing created. That adds up quickly when you’re running multiple client projects or managing high-volume marketing efforts.

Fewer Mistakes and Do-Overs
Instant testing helps you catch issues before publishing or printing. That means no more “oops” moments when a code leads to the wrong place—or nowhere.

More Flexibility Across Channels
With the shareable link, you’re no longer stuck distributing QR codes as image files. Now you can drop that link into emails, messages, funnels, or even Slack for internal use.

Better Client Experience
If you’re an agency, showing clients a working QR code in real time builds trust and keeps approvals moving faster.

Bottom line: This update doesn’t just save time. It helps your marketing hit harder, with less friction and fewer errors.

QR codes aren’t going anywhere—and now, neither is your time.

GoHighLevel’s latest QR code marketing update makes things way easier—you can check if it works and send the link instantly, no downloads needed. If you’re juggling clients or launching back-to-back campaigns, this is the kind of upgrade that saves serious time.

Still downloading and testing QR codes the old way? Do yourself a favor—try the new flow and see how much faster things move.
