A URL QR code opens any web address from a poster, a label or a card: a booking page, a campaign site, a product guide. Make it dynamic and you can change where it goes after the print is out, and count the scans.

Spring open weekend

Reserve a slotFictional nursery. The poster’s code is real and opens this page on qrrapid.com; the website on the phone is an example drawn for the page, not a product screenshot.
Packaging, cards, posters, vehicle decals, event signage. Anywhere ink goes, a URL code can go, and each one can point at exactly the page the print promises.

Monstera deliciosa
Scan for the care guide
Opens the care guide for that plant. No room on the tag for watering, light and feeding; plenty on the page.

Landscape planting
Scan for recent gardens
Opens a portfolio or an about page. The card stays the same for years; a dynamic code lets the page move.

Opens the booking page
Opens the booking page while people are already thinking about the next visit.
“Scan to reserve” should open the reservation form, not your homepage.
A frame or a printed line beside the code tells people why to bother.
Scan the printed piece from where people will stand, with an iPhone and an Android phone.
Sample pieces. Every code is real and opens this page; yours would open your own address.

Reserve a slotNo app to install. The phone’s camera recognises the address and offers to open it; one tap and your page loads in the browser, exactly as it would from a typed link.
A dynamic URL code holds a short QR Rapid link rather than your address. Change the destination in your dashboard and every copy already on a wall follows.

Codes you start without an account are saved as dynamic when you sign up. To make a static code, create it from your dashboard. The sample posters use a made-up domain; yours would open your own site.
Any http or https page. Leave out https:// and it’s added for you. “Test link” opens the address so a typo is caught before anything is printed.
Dot and corner styles, your colours, a frame with a call to action such as “Scan to reserve”, and your logo in the middle.
SVG for the designer, PNG or JPEG for a quick print, PDF for the print shop. Dark code on a light background, with clear space around it.
Links, editing, expiry and tracking.
Choose dynamic if the address might ever change, if you want scan statistics, or if the URL is long. Choose static for a permanent address you’ll never need to measure, such as your homepage on a fixed sign: the URL is stored in the code itself and opens with nothing in between.
Yes, if the code is dynamic: change the destination in your dashboard and every printed copy follows. A static code stores the address itself, so a new address means a new code.
A static URL code never expires; it works as long as the web page exists. A dynamic code works while it’s active in your QR Rapid account; if it’s deactivated (for example when a plan ends), scans show an inactive-code page until you reactivate it.
On a static code, every character of the URL is stored in the pattern, so long addresses and tracking tags make the squares smaller and harder to scan when printed small. A dynamic code only stores a short link, so it stays simple whatever the length of your URL.
Yes. Paste the full address with its utm_source, utm_medium and utm_campaign tags. Use a different tagged address on each placement so your web analytics can tell a window poster from a flyer.
For dynamic codes, your dashboard shows total scans, estimated unique visitors, countries, cities, operating systems, devices and scan activity over time. Static codes aren’t tracked, because nothing sits between the scan and your website.
No. If you leave it out, https:// is added for you. Both http and https addresses are accepted, but https pages avoid the “not secure” warnings browsers show on plain http.
Start with the web address, design the code, download it for print. Every account starts with a 7-day free trial, no credit card required. See plans and pricing for what comes after.
