Working as a motorcycle courier or independent delivery rider comes with a clear challenge: clients forget your number, Pix payments get delayed at the worst moment, and you lose rides simply because there's no easy way to get in touch. Anyone who relies on word-of-mouth referrals knows the window is brief — if the client doesn't save your contact on the spot, they'll call someone else next time.
The QR Code solves this problem in under three seconds. The client points their phone, opens your WhatsApp, your number is already saved, they see your Pix key, and they can read your reviews. All without typing anything. You get ahead of any competitor still depending on a crumpled paper card or a handwritten number.
📋 What to put behind your QR Code
👤 1. vCard contact (saved directly to the phone)
A vCard is a digital contact file. When the client scans it, their phone asks: "Save contact?" — and that's it, you're in their address book forever.
Include: full name, WhatsApp number, city/neighborhood of operation, and your specialty (motorcycle, van, bicycle).

📱 2. Direct link to WhatsApp
Instead of just saving your number, you can take the client straight to an open conversation with a pre-filled message:
"Hi! I need a delivery. Can you help me?"
The client doesn't need to type anything. One tap and they're already talking to you.

💸 3. Pix payment for the ride
Collect payment on the spot — no change, no hassle. The Pix QR can live inside your link-in-bio or be generated separately for the fixed price of each type of delivery.

🔗 4. Link-in-bio with price list and service area
A link-in-bio is a simple page with all your links in one place. For a motorcycle courier, it works like this:
| What I include | Why |
|---|---|
| Price list by neighborhood/area | Client already knows the rate before calling |
| WhatsApp link | Direct contact |
| Pix key | Fast payment |
| Review link (Google or other) | Credibility |
| Working hours | Avoids contact outside working hours |

⭐ 5. Reviews and reputation
Ask each client to leave a review on Google Maps or another platform. Include the link to those reviews in your link-in-bio. Someone who sees five stars before hiring feels much more confident.
Tip: right after the delivery, point to the QR and say: "If you'd like to leave a review, just scan this."
📦 6. Package tracking (for couriers with regular clients)
If you handle recurring deliveries for shops or businesses, you can include a package tracking link. The client scans and sees where their order is.

🔗 Why use a dynamic QR Code?
A static QR Code generates a fixed link. If you change your WhatsApp, your Pix key, or your price list, you have to reprint everything.
A dynamic QR Code lets you edit the destination without replacing the printed QR. The image on your bag stays the same — only the content behind it changes.
Practical advantages:
- Change your number without reprinting
- Update prices and service areas anytime
- See how many times it was scanned (metrics)
- Can redirect based on time (e.g., outside working hours, shows a notice)

📍 Where to place the QR Code
Delivery box or thermal backpack
This is the most scanned spot. A client waiting for a delivery or watching you ride by has time to point their phone. Stick a waterproof sticker on the bottom or side of the box.
Helmet
Works well when you're stopped at a traffic light or in a courier queue. People next to you can see it and scan.
Business card
Keep 10 cards in your pocket. Every time you complete a new delivery or talk to a new client, hand one over. A business card with a QR Code is more professional and more functional than a piece of paper with a scribbled number.
See how to set one up: Digital business card with vCard QR Code.
Sticker on the motorcycle
On the side fairing or rear bumper. Anyone stopped behind you in traffic can scan. Use laminated vinyl to withstand sun and rain.
Uniform or vest
If you wear a delivery vest, put it on the back. Simple and visible.
❌ Common mistakes
❌ Using a static QR Code with a link that changes
If the link-in-bio or number changes and the QR is static, whoever scans it goes nowhere. Always use a dynamic QR Code.
❌ QR Code too small to scan
A QR Code smaller than 2.5 cm × 2.5 cm on a curved surface (helmet, rounded box) fails to scan. Recommended minimum: 3 × 3 cm on a flat surface, 4 × 4 cm on a curved one.
❌ Not testing before printing
Always scan with two different phones (Android and iPhone) before sending to print. A wrong link wastes a sticker and an opportunity.
❌ Sharing just the number without a vCard
A number without a vCard forces the client to type it manually. Most won't bother. A vCard saves automatically — much higher conversion rate.
❌ Leaving the link-in-bio outdated
Client sees "area: south zone" but you've moved to the north zone. Update your link-in-bio whenever anything changes. A dynamic QR Code makes this easy.
