What Is Gravity Perks QR Code 1.0-beta-2.3?
Gravity Perks QR Code 1.0-beta-2.3 is developed by Gravity Wiz and is a forms plugin for WordPress. It functions as a “perk” for the Gravity Perks ecosystem, specifically designed to extend the core functionality of Gravity Forms. It belongs to the forms category on WPExclusive, alongside other tools for advanced data capture and automation.
The plugin solves the hurdle of manual data entry by allowing users to scan codes directly into Single Line Text fields. It is built for business owners managing physical goods, event organizers, and developers building complex workflow automations.
Gravity Perks QR Code 1.0-beta-2.3 Features
The feature set is built around the dual capability of transforming digital data into scannable images and converting physical codes back into form data.
Dynamic QR Code Generation
QR Code can turn any field value into a scannable image using the :qr merge tag modifier. This works in form confirmations, notifications, and any place where merge tags are supported. Users can customize the size, foreground color, and background color of the output images to match their brand identity. This is frequently used for event ticket generation and unique identifier sharing.
In-Form Scanning Capabilities
The plugin adds a scanner icon to Single Line Text fields, enabling the device’s camera to read codes directly into the form. On desktop machines, the field supports drag-and-drop file uploads for image-based codes. While it focuses on QR codes by default, the plugin can be extended to support UPC, EAN, and other barcode formats through specialized filters. This integrates tightly with other Gravity Perks such as Populate Anything.
Advanced Customization and Shortcodes
Beyond simple merge tags, the [gpqr] shortcode allows for combining multiple field values or static text into a single QR code. Developers can return either the raw image HTML or just the file URL for use in custom templates. The plugin also supports various barcode types including CODE 128, EAN 13, and PDF417. This flexibility ensures compatibility with existing industrial scanning systems and retail standards.
Third-Party Integrations
QR Code works automatically with popular Gravity Forms extensions like GravityView and Gravity PDF. This allows for the inclusion of scannable data on generated PDF invoices or within directory listings. It also supports Unique ID fields, enabling the creation of unique scannable assets for every form submission.

Retail pricing for individual perks usually requires a Gravity Wiz subscription. Check current pricing on the QR Code sales page — WPExclusive members access it as part of their plan.

Use Cases

Inventory and Product Tracking
Warehouse staff can scan product SKUs or UPC codes to autopopulate restock forms. By pairing the plugin with Populate Anything, scanning a code can instantly pull in product names, prices, and current stock levels from the database.
Scannable Coupon and Discount Codes
Marketing teams can generate scannable coupons that customers present at a checkout terminal. This is effective for physical storefronts that use WordPress-based order forms for point-of-sale transactions.
