Questions

The things SMEs ask us before signing up.

Do I need a developer?

No. Everything is self-serve — sign up, upload your product data (or type it in), download your QR codes, send them to your print partner. Most brands are live inside an hour.

Is my QR GS1-compliant?

Yes. Every QR is a proper GS1 Digital Link, ready for Sunrise 2027 and readable by point-of-sale systems, regulators and consumer apps.

Is this ESPR and DPP ready?

Yes. The record behind your QR uses the same data model our enterprise customers use for ESPR / Digital Product Passport work. When categories are mandated, you upgrade the record — not the label.

Can I use my own domain?

On INFORM and above, yes. Point a subdomain at us and your QR resolves to yourbrand.com/… instead of a SmartLinks URL.

What if I outgrow Start?

Every SKU, every QR and every record moves seamlessly onto SmartLinks Hub — the full platform. Nothing gets re-printed, nothing gets migrated.

How fast can I actually go live?

Under an hour for a first SKU. A day or two if you're setting up a full catalogue of 50+ products. No integration projects, no waiting on IT.

SmartLinks is a GS1 approved partner

Digital Links convert traditional barcodes into dynamic QR Codes, called 2d Barcodes, that not only help you meet EU labelling and Digital-Product-Passport legislation, but signpost your consumers to product specific information, updates and offers.

This means valuable GTIN/SKU data can be read directly from the code even without internet access, which can include batch and expiry/BBE information directly in the URL.

Useful for everything from stock and expiry checks, recall information, staff discounts, this can speed up a staff member's job or make it easier for them to help a customer.
