Why should I create Dynamic QR codes?
Updated over 5 months ago

Creating Dynamic QR codes can be beneficial for several reasons, especially in cases where you require flexibility, tracking, and adaptability. Here are some reasons why you might want to create Dynamic QR codes:

Content Flexibility: Dynamic QR codes allow you to change the content or destination URL without having to reprint or redistribute the QR code. This is highly beneficial for marketing materials or any physical placement where changing the QR code frequently is not feasible.

Tracking and Analytics: With dynamic QR codes, you can track the number of scans, location of the scans, time, and type of devices used. This data is valuable for analyzing the effectiveness of a campaign or understanding user behavior.

Targeted Content: You can use dynamic QR codes to show different content to different users based on various factors such as location, device type, or time. This helps in creating a more personalized experience for the audience.

Scheduled Content: Dynamic QR codes allow you to schedule content for different times. For instance, a restaurant could use the same QR code to show breakfast menu in the morning, lunch menu in the afternoon, and dinner menu in the evening.

Error Correction: If you make a mistake in the URL or need to change the destination for any reason, you can easily correct it without the need to generate a new QR code.

Length of Data: Because dynamic QR codes only store a redirect URL, they can remain relatively simple and small, regardless of the length of the actual content or destination URL.

Avoiding Dead Links: If your content moves (e.g., if you change your website domain), a dynamic QR code can be updated to point to the new location, avoiding the issue of users being directed to a dead link.

Customer Engagement: By updating the content behind the QR code regularly, you can keep it fresh and encourage users to scan it multiple times.

Reduce Print Costs: Since the same QR code can be used for multiple campaigns or purposes, it reduces the need for reprinting QR codes, thereby saving costs.


โ€‹Emergency Changes: In cases where information might change quickly (such as event schedules), being able to change what users see when they scan the code can be invaluable.
