Frequently Asked Questions
How can mobile barcodes be used?
Mobile barcodes are an efficient way to connect with your target audience at the moment of interest. You can publish barcodes in a number of places: signage, print, point-of-sale displays, product packaging, and even on the Web.
You define the outcome of the scan, which can include a link to open a mobile Web page, play a video, make a phone call, and more. The experience can provide important product information, annouce a special offer, or lead someone into a buy flow. What's more, with AT&T Mobile Barcode Services, you can change the outcome on the fly and track the results in near real-time.
