Abstract
One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for dynamic scan code generation are provided. For example, a meta tag, comprising a user identifier of a user and a promotion code for a consumer good, is extracted from information associated with the user, such as from an email sent to the user. When a current location of a computing device of the user is within a threshold distance of a consumer good location that sells the consumer good, a scan code is dynamically generated based upon the user identifier and the promotion code. A notification of the promotion code, a description of the consumer good location, and/or other information is provided to the user such as through a push notification. The scan code is displayed through the computing device for applying the promotion code to a purchase from the consumer good location for the consumer good.
