Packing Slip QR Codes bridge the gap between the physical unboxing experience and digital review collection. By adding a scannable QR code to your packing slips, you give customers an instant, effortless way to leave reviews right when they're most excited – while opening their package.
Note: This feature is exclusively available on the Pro plan
Why QR Codes on Packing Slips Work

Most likely to have positive feelings
A QR code on the packing slip captures this moment perfectly.
The Numbers Speak
3x higher scan rate than email click-through
50% faster review submission (no email searching)
Mobile-first experience (70% scan with phones)
Zero friction – scan and review in seconds
