How to create a QR code
- 1
Choose the data type
Pick what the QR will encode: URL, vCard, Wi-Fi, SMS, email, WhatsApp, PDF, or plain text. URL is the most flexible for marketing.
- 2
Encode the destination
For a URL QR, paste the landing page. For Wi-Fi, enter SSID and password. The encoder handles escape characters automatically.
- 3
Design the appearance
Apply brand colours, choose a frame, and optionally embed a logo. Keep contrast above 4.5:1 between foreground and background.
- 4
Test the scan
Print the QR at the actual target size and scan with at least two phone models. Codes smaller than 2 cm scan unreliably on most cameras.
- 5
Choose static or dynamic
Static codes encode the URL directly — destination fixed forever. Dynamic codes use a short redirect — destination editable after print.
Frequently asked questions
What is QRCode Suite?
QRCode Suite is a standalone QR code platform: create a free account and generate branded, dynamic QR codes in the browser — no WordPress required. Connectors bring the same codes to WordPress and WooCommerce, where orders can be attributed to specific QR codes.
Does QRCode Suite work without WordPress?
Yes. QRCode Suite is a standalone SaaS — sign up, create QR codes, and track scans entirely on qrcode-suite.com. The WordPress plugin is an optional connector that brings your codes into wp-admin and adds WooCommerce order attribution.
Does QRCode Suite require a separate subscription?
The Free plan is available at no cost — no credit card required. Paid plans (Pro €9, Business €29, Agency €79 per month) unlock unlimited codes, redirect rules, and more. There is no separate per-scan fee.
What QR code types does QRCode Suite support?
QRCode Suite supports 22 QR code types: Static URL, Dynamic URL, Plain Text, Phone, Email, Location, Link Hub, SMS, WhatsApp, Wi-Fi, vCard, Social profile, PDF, File download, App download, Coupon, Calendar event, Lead capture form, Review collection, Wholesale inquiry, Loyalty reward, and Custom payload.
Can I change the destination of a QR code after printing it?
Yes. Dynamic QR codes use a short redirect URL. You can update the destination from your dashboard at any time without generating or reprinting the code.
Is QRCode Suite GDPR-compliant?
QRCode Suite is built with GDPR in mind: raw IP addresses are never stored — visitors are counted with keyed hashes — bot traffic is filtered automatically, and scan events are purged once your plan retention window elapses. Consult your legal team for your specific obligations.
