QRCode Suite is the most feature-complete WordPress QR code plugin available: 22 QR code types, dynamic redirects, first-party analytics with HMAC-SHA-256 hashed IPs, and native WooCommerce order attribution. Codes are managed from WP-Admin while scans and orders sync to the QRCode Suite platform. Other WordPress QR plugins focus on basic static QR generation with no analytics or dynamic capabilities.
Tested on WordPress 6.6+ and WooCommerce 9.x. WordPress.org ratings and active install counts verified at time of writing.
How we reviewed: We evaluated WordPress QR code plugins based on: dynamic redirect support, first-party scan analytics, WooCommerce integration depth, privacy practices (IP hashing, bot filtering, cookie usage, stated retention), number of QR code types, pricing model, and plugin maintenance quality. We installed and tested plugins on a live WordPress 6.6 + WooCommerce 9.x environment. Where a plugin relies on a hosted platform for redirects or analytics, we say so rather than implying data never leaves the site.

QRCode Suite
Top pick
Best full-featured WordPress QR code plugin
QRCode Suite pairs a WordPress plugin with the QRCode Suite platform: the plugin manages codes from WP-Admin, and codes, scan metrics and WooCommerce orders sync to your platform account so the same numbers appear in both places. It is the only option in this list combining first-party scan analytics, WooCommerce order attribution, conditional redirects, A/B testing and 22 QR code types. Free plugin with paid upgrades.
Pros
22 QR code types (URL, vCard, WiFi, coupon, Link Hub, lead form, and more)
Dynamic QR codes — change destination without reprinting
First-party analytics — never sold, never shared with an ad network; IPs HMAC-SHA-256 hashed
Bot traffic filtered against 26 user-agent patterns and excluded from counts
WooCommerce order attribution — revenue tied to the QR that earned the scan
Free forever plan — 3 dynamic QR codes with 30-day analytics
Cons
Requires WordPress 6.0+ and PHP 8.1+; scan data lives on the QRCode Suite platform, not in your WordPress database
Advanced features (WooCommerce attribution, conditional redirects, GA4, API) require a paid plan
Best for
WordPress site owners, WooCommerce stores, and agencies managing multiple client sites
Pricing
Free forever plan. Pro €9/month or €90/year. Business €29/€290. Agency €79/€790.

No scan analytics or tracking
Static only — QR destination is fixed at generation time

Pricing
Typically free. Verify functionality against your requirements.
