Leave origin blank so it uses the scanner’s current location.
For parking/pickup, use a precise destination (or paste a shared place link).
Print larger for distance scans (storefronts and posters).

Dynamic QR (editable link)

What’s this? →

Use a short redirect URL so you can change the destination later.

When to use dynamic: destination may change, URL is long, or you want tracking. When to use static: maximum reliability and the destination won’t change.

Static QR: content is embedded in the QR and can’t be edited after printing.
