Understand
Snipy Intelligence (Signal) attributes the journey; Pass excl. from attributed GMV.
Beaconstac is the enterprise standard for QR at scale — bulk campaigns, team management, and compliance features marketing departments need. Individual creators and small brands face a different problem: they need a handful of dynamic QR codes tied to a bio page, short links, and checkout — not a paid QR contract that starts around $9–$49/mo. Beaconstac does not offer link-in-bio storefronts or PPV products. Snipy gives creators Beaconstac-class dynamic QR with scan analytics plus bio, links, and Stripe payouts from $0.
