Your product needs a QR code. Now what?
You're printing packaging, making flyers, or setting up an in-store display. You need a QR code that links to a specific product page on your WooCommerce store.
The usual path: copy the product URL, open a third-party QR generator website, paste the URL, download the image, hope the generator didn't watermark it or add tracking. For every product, repeat.
What most people do instead
Every approach involves leaving WordPress.
A better way: generate it from the admin
Open the TrueCommander navigator. Type generate product qr code -product_id=142. Hit enter.
The QR code is generated on your server using PHP's QR library. It links to the product's permalink. The image appears inline in the navigator. Right-click to save or copy.
Generated on your server. No external APIs. No third-party tracking. The QR code PNG is stored in your uploads directory.

You're preparing packaging for a leather goods store. Each product box should have a QR code linking to the product page for care instructions and reviews.
You open the navigator, type generate product qr code -product_id=142. The QR code appears instantly. You right-click and save the PNG. Drop it into the packaging template in Canva.
Next product: -product_id=143. Another QR code in 2 seconds. No external websites. No watermarks. No tracking pixels embedded in your QR codes.
