Scan analytics

Last updated on 15 Jul, 2026

Every scan of a published code is counted, and Analytics shows you what's happening: total scans, daily trends, and your most-scanned products.

How it works

When someone scans a code, the 506.link resolver records a minimal, anonymous event — the product (GTIN), the time, and the country the scan came from. Those events roll up into your per-product daily counts every few minutes.

Reading the page

  • Last 30 days — total scans and how many distinct products were scanned.

  • Scans by day — daily counts, so you can see spikes (a retail listing going live, a campaign, a batch of new labels hitting shelves).

  • Top products — your most-scanned products, each linking to its code page.

Things worth knowing

  • Timing: scans appear within a few minutes, not instantly.

  • Privacy: no personal information is collected from people who scan — no names, no precise location, no IP addresses stored, no cookies. See Privacy, data and uninstalling.

  • What counts: any successful resolution of your published code — phone cameras, barcode apps, or anything else that follows the link.

  • Testing inflates numbers: your own test scans count too. A burst of scans on one product right after you print is usually you.

No scans yet?

Publish a code (audit → Get code → Publish), then scan it with your phone. If it shows up within a couple of minutes, everything's working — real-world scans will appear the same way as your labels reach customers and stores.
