Dynamic QR
Code Generator

Both static and dynamic QR codes can store a variety of information, but dynamic codes have a few extra capabilities. Here’s a quick comparison:

• Static QR codes:These can hold simple, fixed information such as a website URL, contact details (vCard), plain text, an email address, an SMS message, Wi-Fi login credentials, or even a cryptocurrency address (like a Bitcoin wallet). Once created, this information can’t be changed.
• Dynamic QR codes: These can do everything a static code can and more. For example, a dynamic QR code can point to a PDF file, an image or video, or a custom mobile landing page that contains multiple links (such as links to your social media profiles, a feedback form, or review page). This makes dynamic codes great for things like gathering customer feedback, sharing menus or brochures, or even directing users to download an app from the App Store or Google Play. The content can also be updated or changed over time since the code is editable.

Dynamic QR codes do not expire on their own. As long as you keep your subscription active, a dynamic QR code will continue to work indefinitely. The only things that would make a dynamic QR code stop working are if you change or delete the code’s link yourself, or if your subscription ends (in which case the code would be deactivated).

We take security seriously. Our dynamic QR code generator and platform are designed to be secure as long as they’re used properly. We use HTTPS encryption on our website and adhere to GDPR guidelines to protect your data. Payments are processed securely through Stripe, and we even offer features like custom domains and have McAfee security safeguards in place. In practice, dynamic QR codes are safe to use – just be sure to manage your codes responsibly (for example, only allow authorized people to edit them, and disable any code you no longer want to be active). With ViralQR’s platform, you can trust that your QR codes and their data are in good hands.

ViralQR provides useful data and reports for tracking the performance of QR codes. For example, you can see:

1. Total scans: the total number of times the QR code has been scanned.
2. Unique scans: how many individual users scanned the code (if the same person scans multiple times, it counts as one unique scan).
3. Time of scan: the date and time each scan happened.
4. Device and browser: the type of device and what app or browser was used to scan the code.
5. Location: an approximate location for each scan (city and country).

These tracking features allow you to monitor how, when, and where people are engaging with your QR codes. You can view these analytics in your dashboard, helping you measure the success of your QR code campaigns.

You can customize the short URL during QR code generation to make it branded, e.g., https://qr.coffee/my-brand-name, or include the keyword, e.g., https://qr.coffee/my-url-with-keyword. Note, that there won’t be any possibility to change or edit a short link after QR code creation.

If your QR code isn’t scanning or working properly, it’s usually an issue with the code’s design or print quality. Here are a few things you can check and fix:

• Contrast: Make sure your QR code has a strong contrast between the foreground and background. For example, a dark QR code on a light (preferably white) background works best. If the colors of the code and the background are too similar, scanners might struggle to read it.
• Size: Ensure the QR code is printed large enough for the distance at which people will scan it. A tiny QR code will be hard for smartphone cameras to focus on. As a rule of thumb, for small prints like business cards, don’t go below about 2×2 cm (0.8×0.8 inches). If the code will be scanned from farther away (like on a poster or billboard), make it much larger.
• Logo placement: It’s fine to add a logo or icon into the center of your QR code, but be careful that the logo doesn’t cover or block too much of the code’s pattern. Keep the key parts of the QR code visible so that scanners can still read it. Typically, ensuring about 70%+ of the code area is unobstructed will keep it scannable.

By checking the points above, you can resolve most issues with QR codes not working. A well-contrasted, appropriately sized code with an unobstructed design should scan smoothly.

They are designed with an error-correction system, so they are somewhat error-tolerant. In fact, a QR code can still be scannable even if up to ~30% of it is damaged or missing. This means if your code gets a bit dirty, scratched, or a portion is obscured, it will often still work. However, if more than 30% of the code is destroyed or covered (for example, a large chunk is missing or a big spill blurs it), then the code likely won’t scan. It’s always best to keep your codes as intact as possible, but know that a little wear and tear shouldn’t immediately break it thanks to that built-in error correction.

We accept a wide range of payment methods for convenience. You can pay using most major credit or debit cards, as well as several online payment options. For example, we support:

• Credit/Debit Cards: Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Diners Club, JCB, UnionPay, Cartes Bancaires, and others.
• Digital Wallets: Apple Pay, Google Pay, Microsoft Pay, and Click to Pay.
• Bank Payments: SEPA Direct Debit, Bacs Direct Debit, BECS Direct Debit, Bancontact, iDEAL, and SOFORT banking.

No matter which method you choose, all payments are processed securely. If you have any issue with payment, our support team is happy to help.

When your subscription is terminated, your quick response ciphers will remain active for 10 days before being paused. Renewing your subscription within these 10 days is important to keep your dynamic QR codes active. If your codes are paused due to subscription termination, you can still access them and collect data once you upgrade your plan.

You can cancel your subscription at any time through your account settings. Here are the steps to cancel:

1. Log in to your ViralQR account on our website.
2. Go to the My Account section, and then click on Billing.
3. Under Billing, select Manage my subscription.
4. Click the Cancel plan button and follow the confirmation prompts.

That’s it! Your subscription will be set to cancel, and you will not be billed moving forward. Your dynamic QR codes will remain active until the end of your current billing period or any applicable grace period – see the earlier note on what happens when a subscription ends.
