How to Add QR Codes in GoHighLevel Page Builder
If you manage funnels in tools like ClickUp and GoHighLevel together, you can streamline campaigns by embedding QR codes directly on your pages. This guide explains, step by step, how to use the QR Code element inside the GoHighLevel page builder so visitors can scan and instantly open a specific URL or funnel step.
What the GoHighLevel QR Code Element Does
The QR Code element in GoHighLevel allows you to place a scannable code on any page or funnel step. When someone scans the code with a smartphone camera or QR scanner app, they are taken directly to the link you configured.
Typical uses for the QR Code element include:
- Sending offline traffic (flyers, posters, business cards) to a GoHighLevel funnel step.
- Driving event attendees to a sign-up, survey, or booking page.
- Linking print materials to digital offers or thank-you pages.
- Making it easier for users to revisit a specific GoHighLevel page.
Because QR codes are generated automatically, you do not need any external generator when you build pages inside GoHighLevel.
How to Access the QR Code Element in GoHighLevel
The QR Code feature is available directly inside the GoHighLevel page builder. Before you start, make sure you are logged into your GoHighLevel account and have an existing funnel or website, or create a new one.
Step 1: Open the GoHighLevel Page or Funnel
- In your GoHighLevel dashboard, navigate to the Sites or Funnels section.
- Select the specific funnel or website where you want to add a QR code.
- Open the desired page or step in the visual page builder.
After the builder loads, you can edit existing sections or add new ones where the QR code will be placed.
Step 2: Locate the QR Code Element in GoHighLevel
- On the left-hand panel of the builder, scroll through the available elements.
- Find the element labeled QR Code.
- Click and drag the QR Code element onto the section, row, or column where you want it to appear.
Once you drop the element on the canvas, a default QR code will appear, and you can start customizing it for your GoHighLevel page.
Configuring the QR Code in GoHighLevel
After placing the QR Code element, you must configure what happens when someone scans it. This is done using the settings panel that appears when the element is selected.
Step 3: Select the QR Code Action Type
In GoHighLevel, the QR Code element supports at least one key action: opening a URL when scanned.
- Click the QR Code element on the page to open its settings panel.
- Look for the Action or Type dropdown labeled something similar to On Scan.
- Choose Open URL as the action type.
This tells GoHighLevel that scanning the QR code should redirect the user to a specific web address or funnel step.
Step 4: Enter the URL or Funnel Link
Once Open URL is selected, you can define the exact destination.
- Locate the input field where you can paste or type the URL.
- Enter the full link you want users to visit after scanning. This can be:
- A public web page inside your GoHighLevel website or funnel.
- A booking, calendar, or form step hosted in GoHighLevel.
- Any external URL if you want the QR code to point outside your account.
- Double-check that the URL is correct and includes the proper
http://orhttps://prefix.
As soon as you save, the QR code will be generated automatically with this destination encoded.
Customizing QR Code Appearance in GoHighLevel
The page builder in GoHighLevel lets you style the QR Code element so it fits with your brand and layout. While the core function is to open a URL, visual customization can help match your overall design.
Common styling options may include:
- Size: Adjust width and height so the QR code is easily scannable.
- Alignment: Center, left, or right align the QR code within its column.
- Padding and margins: Add spacing so the QR code does not feel cramped.
- Background or container styling: Use borders, colors, or shadows around the QR code block if desired.
Always keep enough contrast between the QR code and the background to maintain scannability.
Saving and Publishing Your GoHighLevel Page
After you configure and style the QR code, you need to save your work inside GoHighLevel and make it live.
Step 5: Save Changes in the Builder
- Click the Save button in the top-right corner of the GoHighLevel builder.
- Wait for the confirmation that your page or funnel step has been saved successfully.
Saving ensures that the QR code configuration, including the URL and styling, is stored for that step.
Step 6: Preview and Publish
- Use the Preview option to open the page in a new tab.
- Scan the QR code with a smartphone camera to confirm it redirects to the correct URL.
- If everything works as expected, publish or set the funnel step live, depending on your GoHighLevel setup.
Testing before wide distribution helps avoid broken links on printed materials or marketing assets.
Best Practices for Using QR Codes in GoHighLevel
To get the most from the QR Code element, consider these best practices:
- Use clear calls to action: Add text near the QR code that explains what happens when users scan it.
- Place QR codes prominently: Put them above the fold or in high-visibility sections of your GoHighLevel pages.
- Test on multiple devices: Make sure the QR codes scan correctly on different phones and camera apps.
- Connect with tracking: Use unique URLs or tracking parameters so you can measure QR-driven traffic in GoHighLevel reporting or external analytics.
