Dynamic QR codes: what you can change after printing

A dynamic QR keeps the same printed pattern while you change where its link leads. It is useful when a page moves, an offer changes, or you want to compare scan activity over time.

What you can update

In QR-ZY, supported dynamic types let you edit links, text, contact details, Wi-Fi settings, and social links in your dashboard. For a menu or PDF that may move to a new address, use a dynamic Link QR: you can change its URL without replacing the printed code.

A static QR is also suitable for long-term use if its encoded details stay the same. You can update a website at the same address; you only need a new static link QR when the address itself changes.

Check the link before and after saving

Open the new page on your phone and check that it matches the label beside the QR. A code labelled “View menu” should lead to the menu, not leave guests searching through the website.

Save the change, then scan a copy of the printed code. Check that the new page loads and that its links, buttons, and content work as expected.

  • The new page opens correctly on a phone.
  • The page matches the invitation printed beside the code.
  • The existing printed QR has been tested after saving the change.
