HeroCode Troubleshooting

Updated this week

If your HeroCode (QR code) isn’t working or doesn’t open the correct booking page, don’t worry, this can usually be resolved in just a few minutes.

This article explains the most common HeroCode issues and how to fix or reactivate your code so travelers can check in smoothly.


Purpose

To help partners troubleshoot and fix HeroCode (QR code) issues quickly.

Applies to

  • LuggageHero storage managers and partners

  • HeroCode stickers, desk stands, or printed codes


1. Check the Link Under the QR Code

Each HeroCode has a unique URL printed just below the QR code.
If scanning doesn’t open your unique partner booking profile, try typing the link directly into a browser to test it.

  • If the link opens your location’s booking page, the QR code is functional.

  • If the link doesn’t load or shows an error page, the HeroCode needs reactivation (see step 4).

💡 Tip: Always verify that the link under the QR code matches your current storage location listed in your Dashboard.


2. Test with a Different Device

Sometimes the issue lies with the phone or scanning app, not the QR code itself.
Try these quick tests:

  • Use a different phone or camera app to scan the code.

  • Ensure your camera app has internet access and permissions enabled.

  • If you’re using a browser-based scanner, check that cookies and JavaScript are allowed.

If the code still doesn’t work after testing on multiple devices, move on to reactivation.


3. Ensure It’s the Correct HeroCode for Your Location

Every HeroCode is unique to one location.
If you have multiple locations or recently updated your account, verify that:

  • The HeroCode URL matches your location’s name when scanning it.

  • You’re not using a code printed for a different site.

If the wrong code was placed or mixed up, download and print the correct one directly from your Dashboard, or contact support.


4. Reactivate or Replace a HeroCode

If your HeroCode still doesn’t work or shows an error message:

  1. Open the chat feature.

  2. Select “Activate HeroCode” and share:

    • Your store name

    • Email address linked to your LuggageHero account

    • The unique URL printed below the QR code

Our team will confirm activation and notify you once it’s live again.

⚠️ If you’ve lost or damaged your HeroCode, you can reprint a new version directly from your Dashboard under or order a new one via the chat:
Account → Your Storage Locations → HeroCode → Download and Print.
