What is a Dynamic QR Code and How to Easily Create One with Microweb.me
A QR code is an image that you can scan with your phone's camera to open a link on the internet, like a webpage. It's like a magic button that takes you directly to a place on the internet without having to type anything. But what if you want that button to take you somewhere else later? That's where a dynamic QR code comes in.
What is a Dynamic QR Code?
A dynamic QR code is a QR code that you can change to direct users to different places on the internet, even after it has been created. This means you can use the same QR code for different purposes at different times without needing to print a new one each time.
How to Create a Dynamic QR Code on Microweb.me
Let’s walk through the steps to create your own dynamic QR code with Microweb.me. It's easier than it seems!
1 - Create a Short Link with a Meaningful Name:
- First, log into your Microweb.me account.
- When creating a short link, choose a name that reminds you of where you will use that QR code. For example, if you plan to place the QR code on the walls of your store, you might name it "qr-walls-store." This link could direct to a specific page, like your drink menu.
2 - Generate the QR Code:
- Once you have your short link, it's time to generate the QR code.
- Select the link you created (in this case,
microweb.me/qr-walls-store) and use the option to generate the QR code.
Make sure the QR code can be scanned correctly before printing it.
3 - Change the QR Code’s Destination as Needed:
- The great thing about a dynamic QR code is that you can change where it directs users without needing to create a new one. For example, if the QR code initially directed to your drink menu but you want it to direct to the day's promotions tomorrow, just edit the "qr-walls-store" short link in your Microweb.me account.
- The QR code remains the same, but now it will direct users to the promotions page instead of the drink menu!
4 - No Need to Edit the QR Code:
- Once the QR code is printed and in place, you don’t need to do anything else with it. Just change where the short link points whenever you need to. This way, the same QR code can serve different purposes in your store, without any extra effort.
Why Use a Dynamic QR Code?
- Easy to change: You can modify where the code directs without creating a new one.
- Saves time and money: Useful for signs or ads where the content might change.
- Super practical: Everything is managed through Microweb.me, hassle-free.
And that’s how easy it is to create and manage your dynamic QR codes. With Microweb.me, you have everything you need to make sure your QR codes always point to the right place, whenever you decide!
