How this guide is maintained

QRFlow guides are written against the current generator behavior, payload formatting rules, export paths, and print or scan checks in the product. They are meant to help users finish a QR workflow, not to exist as standalone SEO filler.

Quick steps
  1. Use a stable destination: Choose a registration or check-in link that will not expire before the event.
  2. Size for distance: Print larger if people will scan from 1-2 meters away.
  3. Test on real devices: Scan with iPhone and Android on mobile data, not just WiFi.
  4. Add a backup option: Include a short URL or contact info near the QR.

Quick answers

Common questions

How big should event QR codes be?
Print larger if people scan from 1-2 meters, especially on posters.
Do I need a backup link?
Yes. Add a short URL near the QR in case scanning fails.
Should I use static or dynamic QR for campaigns?
Use static for stable destinations. Use hosted dynamic QR only when you have an editable short link, saved edit key, and a reason to maintain the redirect after printing.
How do I add tracking without breaking scans?
Keep UTM parameters short and avoid long redirect chains to reduce QR density.
