QR code opens up form on company website prefilled by salesforce data

Hi,

This is more of a question of where do i even start nevermind how to do it, haha

Basically what we want to happen is,
 
  1. Customer scans QR code and in the URL will be the ID of that corresponding machine(asset) on salesforce.
  2. It will need to call this record and get the data from salesforce and pre-fill a form on the company website from this data

Basically I need help on what way to go about this.

Will i need to find someone to build a script from scratch that will use the url and call on salesforce api to pull the data and prepopulate the form. I am not familliar with coding so i dont even know if this is possible.

Is there any easier ways that you guys can think of?

To build your prefill link, you'll need:
The form's address (URL)
Go to the Publish page and copy the public address under Your form is publicly available at this address.

If you've published the form on your own website (https://techzoan.com/)page, you can also use that page's URL. Now, decide which fields you want to prefill.
