QR Code after Website Relaunch: How to Keep Printed Codes Valid
The Problem with a Relaunch
When a website moves — new domain, new URL structure, new CMS — old QR codes on flyers, business cards, or posters suddenly lead to nothing. A 404 error costs trust, and reprinting costs time and money.
The Simple Solution
A dynamic QR code never points directly to the target URL, but to a short redirect link. If the website changes, you only adjust the target in Same-QR — the printed code remains exactly the same and works immediately again.
In 3 Steps to a Relaunch-Safe QR Code
- Create a QR code in same-qr and point it to the current page
- Before the relaunch: enter the new URL in the dashboard, don't reprint
- After go-live, briefly test if the scan leads to the new page
Frequently asked questions
No — only if you used a static QR code. With a dynamic QR code from Same-QR, you simply change the link target in the dashboard, and the printed code remains unchanged valid.
The QR code still leads to the old, possibly non-existent page. It's worth including the update in the relaunch checklist.
