How do I scan QR codes into Google Sheets?

Connect your Google account, pick your spreadsheet, and create a scanner link. Share the URL with your team — when they open it on any phone and scan a QR code, the result is written as a new row in your Google Sheet instantly.

Do field workers need to install an app?

No. Workers open the scanner link in any phone browser — iPhone, Android, or desktop. No App Store, no sign-up, no shared login.

What happens if there is no internet connection?

Scans are saved to the device first. When the connection returns, they sync to Google Sheets automatically. Workers can also export a CSV backup at any time from the scanner screen.

How long does setup take?

Under five minutes from sign-up to deployed scanner link. You connect Google once, pick a spreadsheet, configure the scanner link, and the URL is ready to share. There is no developer setup, no IT ticket, and nothing to install.

What types of codes can it scan?

QR codes and most standard 1D and 2D barcodes: Code 128, Code 39, EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC-A, UPC-E, ITF, and more. Scanning uses the device camera via the browser — no app required.

Which devices and browsers does it work on?

Any modern smartphone or tablet with a camera — iPhone (Safari), Android (Chrome, Firefox), and desktop browsers. The scanner link opens directly in the browser with no app install required.

Can multiple people scan from the same link at the same time?

Yes. One scanner link can be opened and used by any number of phones simultaneously. Each phone that opens the link counts as one registered device toward your plan limit.

What Google permissions does it need?

Only drive.file — the narrowest possible scope. This means the app can only access files it creates or that you explicitly share with it via the Picker. It cannot see or touch any other files in your Drive.

Can I have multiple scanner links pointing to different sheets?

Yes — on Premium you can create unlimited scanner links, each writing to its own Google Sheets destination, tab, and column layout. Free plan is limited to one active scanner link.

Do field workers need accounts on QR to Sheets?

No. Workers open the scanner link URL — that is the entire worker-facing product. No sign-up, no login, no onboarding. The admin controls everything; workers only scan.

How much does it cost?

Start free with 300 scans, 1 device, and 1 link — no credit card required. Premium is $7/device/month for unlimited scans, unlimited links, and unlimited sheet connections. No annual lock-in, cancel any month.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. Cancel from the Billing page in your admin — you retain Premium access until the end of the current billing period, then the account moves to the Free tier automatically. No cancellation fees.

What is the best QR code scanner for Google Sheets?

QR to Sheets is purpose-built for scanning QR codes and barcodes directly into Google Sheets. Unlike app-based scanners, workers only need a browser link — no app install, no account, no training. Data appears in your own Google Sheet in real time.

Can I use QR codes for event check-in with Google Sheets?

Yes. The Events add-on lets you import your guest list from Google Sheets, send each guest a personalised QR invitation, and scan them in at the door. Check-in timestamps write back to your spreadsheet automatically.

Can I track inventory or warehouse stock with QR codes and Google Sheets?

Yes. Create a scanner link tied to your inventory spreadsheet, print QR codes for items or locations, and have workers scan items from any phone browser. Each scan appends a timestamped row with the scanned value to your Google Sheet — no app or hardware required.
