QR code tracking
QR code tracking is the practice of placing a unique QR code on each mailed piece so that scans can be attributed to the specific card, recipient, or campaign that generated them.

How CardCadence handles it
Every CardCadence postcard design ships with a trackable QR code, rendered at print time and pointed at a link unique to each recipient — no extra setup required. (You can remove it from a design if you want a card without one; the proof step warns you that scan tracking will be off before you approve it.) Your dashboard shows when each code was scanned, from which campaign, and how many unique scans a mailing generated — attribution at the individual recipient level, without any personal URL printed on the card.
