Why QR Code Feedback Forms on Receipts Are a Smart Move
Discover how adding a QR code feedback form to your receipts can boost customer insights, improve experience, and increase response rates—one question at a time. Learn how to implement it with FabForm.io.
The Surprisingly Smart Way to Get Feedback: QR Codes on Receipts
Let’s be honest—most receipts end up crumpled in pockets, tossed in bins, or used to wipe ketchup off a toddler’s face. But what if that little slip of paper could actually help you improve your business?
Adding a QR code to your receipt that links to a one-question feedback form is one of the simplest, most scalable ways to collect customer insights. It’s fast, discreet, and doesn’t require anyone to download an app or remember a URL. Just scan, tap, done.
Why Receipts Are Secretly the Best Feedback Channel
Receipts are printed constantly. Whether you run a coffee shop, salon, retail store, or restaurant, you’re handing out thousands of them every month. That’s thousands of chances to ask: “How was your experience?”
And because the receipt lands in the customer’s hand right after the transaction, it’s the perfect moment to catch honest, in-the-moment feedback. No follow-up emails. No awkward surveys. Just a quick scan and a single question.
