I am wondering what the best practice for attributing app installs to Points of Purchase.

For example, I will have a map app that a visitor center may display a poster with a bar code to install the app. I need to be able to attribute every install (purchase) made with that barcode to the visitor center.

Can an App Store URL include a unique identifier or referrer that will be associated with an app purchase visible somewhere like with App Store Analytics?

Thanks for taking the time to share your question here. Unfortunately, it hasn't received an answer yet.

Are you creating Universal Links per poster? You can create unique links that all eventually redirect to the App Store URL.

Here are a few suggestions that might help it attract more attention:

Provide more details: Expanding on your post to include any error messages, code snippets, steps you've already taken to troubleshoot, and the expected/actual outcomes would be very helpful.
Be specific about your technology stack: Clearly state the programming languages, frameworks, or tools you are using.
Check for duplicates: Before posting, make sure your question hasn't been asked before. You can use the search bar to find similar threads.

I'm sure someone in the community will be able to help once you have a chance to update your post.
