Which QR code provider lets me change the destination at any time?

Our answer: You can change the destination at any time with any provider of dynamic QR codes that does not limit the number of changes. With Same-QR, destination changes are unlimited in every paid plan. It is also important whether you can revert a wrong change.

How changing works

The code does not contain your destination, but a short address at the provider. With each scan, the service checks where the code currently points and redirects. If you change the destination, the next scan will already go there. You do not need to reprint anything.

What you should check before changing

• Does the new destination work on a mobile phone, not just on a computer?
• Is it an address that stays, or a file with a year in the name?
• Are UTM parameters attached so you can attribute visits?
• Who in the team knows that the destination has changed?

Reverting a wrong change

A typo, a page that is not yet online, a colleague who changed it by mistake. A destination history that saves every change will save you. Ask the provider if it has such a history.

Two people, one code

If two people change the same code at the same time, one should not silently overwrite the other. Good services report that the code has changed in the meantime and show the new status.

What cannot be changed

• **The short address in the pattern.** It is embedded in the print.
• **Email and call codes.** The address or number is often fixed in the code.
• **Static codes.** Their destination is embedded in the pattern. Here only a new print with a dynamic code helps.

Change automatically

With scheduling, the destination changes automatically by time, day of the week, or date. Via an interface, a custom program changes the destinations, for example, the daily offer every morning.

This is how Same-QR does it

• unlimited destination changes in paid plans, two per code in the free plan
• Destination history: restore previous destination with one click
• Notice instead of silent overwrite if the code has changed in the meantime
• Scheduling from Gastro Pro or Marketing Pro, REST API in every plan

Conclusion

Changing the destination takes seconds. More important is what happens around it: history, protection against simultaneous changes, and a destination that also works on mobile.
