What GS1 Digital Link QR Code is
GS1 Digital Link QR Code encodes a GS1 Digital Link web URI inside a standard QR Code, letting one scan resolve to a product page while still carrying GS1 AI data for supply-chain use.

Valid input
Input follows GS1 Digital Link URI syntax within QR Code's standard numeric/alphanumeric/byte encoding modes.
Key options
Supported options include eclevel (error-correction level L/M/Q/H), version, and parse. Unlike the plain-AI GS1 encoders, gs1dlqrcode runs bwip-js's caret-escape decoder directly on the raw Digital Link URI text before any AI structuring: with parse set, a URI segment containing that escape syntax decodes before validation instead of being rejected as literal text. An ordinary URI with no escape text is unaffected either way.
Output and printing
Export SVG for retail packaging or PNG for digital/marketing use.
Common uses
This format underpins GS1's global retail migration to 2D barcodes that serve both point-of-sale scanning and consumer-facing web links.
Example
See the live preview above, seeded with a bwip-js-verified valid value.
Size guidance
As a standard QR Code, it needs the usual quiet zone specified by ISO/IEC 18004.
Troubleshooting
If scanning resolves to the wrong data, confirm the Digital Link path segments (GTIN, batch, etc.) are ordered per the GS1 specification.
