Opo Codes

Review QR code generator

A review QR code takes a customer straight to the page where they can rate your shop or business, with no searching. Opo Codes makes it for free in your browser, with no account: paste your review link or your Place ID, and the code is checked before you print.

How to do it

  1. Open the generator with the review type already selected.
  2. Paste the review link for your business, or the Place ID that your maps listing gives you.
  3. If the field says to paste a link or a Place ID, the value was not recognised. Check it and try again.
  4. Wait for the VERIFIED stamp, then download the code for a table card, a receipt or a counter sign.

Link or Place ID

You can give the generator either of two things. A full link that starts with http:// or https:// is used exactly as you pasted it. Or a Place ID: a code of at least 10 letters, digits, hyphens or underscores that identifies your business on the maps service. From a Place ID the generator builds that business's write-a-review link, which ends with ?placeid= and your ID.

Worked example: the ID ChIJ-sample-12345 has 17 characters, so it is accepted and the link ends with ?placeid=ChIJ-sample-12345. An ID shorter than 10 characters, such as abc123, is refused, because it cannot be a real one.

Ask at the right moment

Put the code where a happy customer is already looking: the receipt, the bag, the table card or the till. Use the frame text to say what to do. The frame text is Scan me by default, and you can change it to something like Enjoyed your visit? Tell us.

The code is static and holds a fixed link. If you later change the review page you point to, print a new code.

Test it once on a real phone

The VERIFIED stamp proves the code reads back as the link you gave it. It cannot prove that the link is the right business, so scan the printed code yourself and look at the page that opens before you print a large run.

Questions

Where do I find my Place ID?

The maps service that hosts your business listing publishes a Place ID finder in its developer tools. You can also paste the review link directly and skip the ID.

Does the code collect reviews for me?

No. It only opens the review page. The review itself is written and stored on that service.

Can I ask for reviews only from happy customers?

That is for you and the review service's own rules to decide. This tool only makes the code.

Can I change the link later?

No. Static codes cannot be edited, so print a new code.
