Scan One time someone scanned a QR code, or opened its link.
Scan limit The maximum number of scans after which a code stops working.
Stop One place on a trail. Each stop is a Landing Page QR code.

Trail A guided route that links several landing pages, with progress and an optional reward. See What trails are.
Trial Seven days of the Pro plan for new accounts, without a credit card. If you do not subscribe, your QR codes and pages stop working when it ends (except Wi-Fi codes set to connect directly), and the account is deleted automatically no earlier than 7 days later. See When the trial ends.
UTM parameters (tracking parameters) Labels added to a web address so your website analytics know where a visitor came from. See Tracking parameters.
Visitor One browser, counted once per day in trail reports, on a custom domain. On qrforge.link, every page open counts as a visitor. See Visitors vs page opens.
