Barcode is machine-readable data that's seen with parallel lines. The width and spacing of these lines are different with the encoded data while QR Code is a matrix of black squares that's set up on a white background.
I have always wondered how do they work. Both of them look quite different from each other. However, I am not sure if the purpose and functionality of both of these kinds of codes is the same or if they are different. QR Codes are also available on android apps. However, I have never used them.
Unfortunately, I don't have any experience in making use of either of them. This is because I've never Incorporated using them in my own business. I don't even have the plan to do so at the moment. Also, I have never paid for any transaction using bar code or QR-Code.
I have used many QR codes to access different information and discounts sometimes from companies, but the barcode when I have analyzed it with an online barcode reader, has not given me much information and I do not know exactly what it is for, I guess it is to identify a product itself, when it was created and all that.
Yes, QR codes are an easy way for users to access company or product data easily from the comfort of their mobile phone, this also helps users once they scan the code, feel more connected to the company, as they can interact with a lot of extra information that they did not have.I know very well that companies that have decided to incorporate the use of QR code in their business have made the decision of digitalizing everything about their business product and services. This is so that their customers will have complete details on each product whenever they want to know anything about their business.
Some manufacturers places QR code in the product while some others prefer to place barcode, a mobile phone is also able to scan a barcode as QR Code depends on the version of application installed and also the abilities to do the storage counting work.Yes, QR codes are an easy way for users to access company or product data easily from the comfort of their mobile phone, this also helps users once they scan the code, feel more connected to the company, as they can interact with a lot of extra information that they did not have.

I think that bar codes predate the QR codes. I remember bar codes being used by many different companies a long time ago. However, I think that QR codes, on the other hand, is a relatively new technology compared to bar codes.
