  • For groups, use a permanent invite link if possible.
  • Shorter links scan better on small prints.

Quick answers

Common questions

Should I use a username or invite link?
Use a username for profiles and a permanent invite for groups.
Do short links help?
Yes. Shorter links scan faster on small prints.
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.
