Compatibility
Does my shop
support it?

Most modern retail scanners can read QR codes and feed the result straight into the till — just like a keyboard would. Here's a quick guide to what works where.

Very likely to work
  • Large supermarkets & chains
  • Pharmacies & health & beauty stores
  • High street fashion & clothing retailers
  • Electronics & tech stores
  • Petrol station forecourts

These retailers use modern till systems with 2D barcode scanners that accept QR input as plain text.

Worth trying
  • Independent shops & boutiques
  • Market stalls with modern card readers
  • Cafés & restaurants collecting emails
  • Garden centres & hardware stores

Depends on their till setup. Most modern point-of-sale systems will work — just ask the cashier to try it.

Won't apply
  • Loyalty apps with their own QR codes (Tesco Clubcard, Nectar etc.)
  • Shops that don't collect emails at till
  • Self-checkout machines without a cashier

These systems use their own barcodes or don't have a step where you'd give your email.

💡
Not sure about your favourite shop?

Just open Skip the Spell and ask the cashier to try scanning it. Takes two seconds — and if it works, you'll never have to spell your email out there again.
