FasTrax Introduces QR Code Price Checker for Faster In-Store Shopping

January 9, 2026

App-less mobile scanning technology that populates real-time product information and pricing on customers’ smartphones without any assistance from staff.

A Smarter, Mobile-First Way to Check Prices In-Store

Shoppers can now scan a unique QR code displayed in-store using their smartphone—no app downloads required. A browser-based scanner opens instantly, letting customers scan any product barcode to see pricing and details on their screen. It’s fast, intuitive, and removes the guesswork from shopping.

Getting it live is simple for retailers. After contacting the FasTrax sales team, the feature is added to the backend. Retailers select which locations will use QR code price checking and set a few display preferences, such as showing quantity on hand or availability.

A unique QR code is automatically generated for each location. Retailers can download it for printed or digital signage, complete with customer-friendly instructions so shoppers know exactly how to use it.

Who It Helps

Price checks are one of the most common interruptions on the sales floor. The QR code price checker takes that pressure off staff by putting price lookups directly in customers’ hands.
