# Use a trackable link or QR code

A trackable link sends people to your story and records clicks through that link. It is available with Pro Plus and above plans.

## Get the link

1.  Open your story’s share page.
2.  Select **Links & sharing**.
3.  Find **Trackable link** below **Story link**.
4.  Select **Generate trackable link**.
5.  Use its copy icon, then paste the link where you want to share it.

Your story must be published. The button does not appear if the story already has a trackable link, because Exposure keeps one link for each story. Its address does not change later.

If the section shows an example link and a closed lock, your plan does not include this feature. The help text below the lock reads **Available with Pro Plus and above plans**.

## Download the QR code

Select **PNG** or **SVG** below the QR code. Use PNG as an image, or SVG when you need a scalable graphic for a design or print layout.

The QR code contains the trackable URL. Test it before you print or distribute it. A domain or plan change can stop that URL from opening the story.

## Read the results

In Stats, find **Trackable link clicks**. Choose 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, or 1 year to see total clicks, daily counts, traffic sources, and devices. The default range is 30 days. A custom range must be less than 365 days.

These counts measure clicks through the trackable link, including taps from a phone. They are not a count of unique readers. Visits through the regular story link do not become trackable-link clicks.

Tracking links shared with readers is separate from [tracking clicks on links inside a story](<https://support.exposure.co/en/articles/13360153-story-link-click-tracking/>).
