QR Codes in GoHighLevel: Complete How-To Guide

If you manage projects in ClickUp and marketing funnels in GoHighLevel, having a simple, repeatable way to create QR codes is essential. This guide walks you through every step of generating, styling, and downloading QR codes inside the funnel and website builder so you can quickly connect offline traffic to your online campaigns.

This how-to is based on the official GoHighLevel support documentation and is designed to be easy to follow, even if you are new to the platform.

Understanding QR Codes in GoHighLevel

Within the builder, GoHighLevel lets you add a dedicated QR Code element directly to your funnel or website pages. You can then point that QR code to any URL, trackable link, or online asset you want to promote.

Typical uses for QR codes in GoHighLevel include:

Driving visitors from printed materials to funnels or opt-in pages
Sending customers directly to booking pages or calendars
Linking to online forms, surveys, or review pages
Promoting limited-time offers from flyers, posters, or business cards

Once the QR Code element is in place, you can configure its target URL, adjust appearance, and download the image file for use in offline campaigns.

Accessing the GoHighLevel Funnel or Website Builder

Before you can add a QR code, you must open the visual builder in GoHighLevel. Follow these steps:

Log in to your GoHighLevel account using your usual credentials.
From the left-hand sidebar, navigate to either:
- Funnels – if you want the QR code on a funnel step.
- Websites – if you want the QR code on a standard web page.
Select the specific funnel or website where you want the QR code to appear.
Click the Edit button to open the drag-and-drop builder for the selected page or step.

Once the builder is open, you are ready to insert the QR Code element.

Adding the GoHighLevel QR Code Element

The QR Code element is available in the standard element panel in GoHighLevel. Here is how to add it:

On the left side of the builder, locate the Elements panel.
Scroll through the list until you find the QR Code element.
Click and drag the QR Code element onto your page.
Drop it into the row or column where you want the QR code to be displayed.

After placing the element, a default QR code will show on the canvas, and the settings panel for that element will appear on the right side of the screen.

Configuring QR Code Settings in GoHighLevel

Once the QR Code element is selected, GoHighLevel shows configuration options so you can choose what the code links to and how it looks.

Set the QR Code Destination URL in GoHighLevel

The most important setting is the URL that the QR code should open when scanned:

With the QR Code element selected, look for the Content or Settings tab on the right-hand panel.
Find the field labeled URL or similar.
Paste or type the target link, for example:
- A funnel step URL
- A website page URL
- An external booking, review, or survey link
Ensure the URL starts with http:// or https:// to avoid scanning issues.

The preview QR code updates automatically to reflect the new destination.

Customize QR Code Appearance in GoHighLevel

Depending on the current feature set in GoHighLevel, you may have styling options such as:

Size – adjust the width and height of the QR code on the page.
Alignment – center, left, or right alignment within the column.
Spacing – margin and padding to create visual breathing room.
Background – color or container styling around the QR element.

Use these options to ensure your QR code is clearly visible and easy to scan, especially on mobile devices.

How to Download a QR Code from GoHighLevel

After configuring the QR Code element, you can download it as an image to use in external designs or printed materials.

Open the QR Code in the GoHighLevel Builder

From your GoHighLevel dashboard, open the relevant funnel or website.
Click Edit to enter the builder.
Navigate to the specific page or step containing the QR Code element.
Locate the QR code on the canvas and select it.

Download the QR Code Image in GoHighLevel

The exact interface may vary slightly, but the general process is:

With the QR Code element selected, look for a small Download or Export icon near the element preview or in the settings panel.
Click the Download option.
Choose the available format (commonly PNG or similar image type).
Confirm the download and save the file to your computer.

You can now insert the downloaded QR code into brochures, flyers, posters, email signatures, or any other offline or online asset.

Best Practices for Using QR Codes in GoHighLevel Campaigns

To get maximum value from QR codes generated in GoHighLevel, keep these practical tips in mind:

Test before printing – scan the QR code with multiple mobile devices to ensure it opens the correct page.
Use trackable links – when possible, direct the QR code to a tracking link or dedicated GoHighLevel funnel step to measure performance.
Ensure high contrast – place the QR code on backgrounds that make it easy to scan.
Size for distance – larger QR codes work better on posters or signs viewed from far away, while smaller ones are fine for business cards.
Provide a backup URL – when possible, add a short printed URL near the QR code for users who cannot scan.

Troubleshooting QR Codes in GoHighLevel

If your QR code does not scan correctly or sends users to the wrong place, review the following:

Incorrect URL – double-check that the URL in the QR Code settings is complete and accurate.
Low image quality – if the printed QR is blurry or pixelated, try downloading again and using a higher-resolution asset.
Insufficient contrast – avoid placing the QR code over busy or low-contrast backgrounds.
Too small – increase the displayed size in GoHighLevel and re-download.
