A dynamic QR code?
Yes, the core idea is that information associated with the QR code is handled by the plugin and not encoded inside the QR code itself: that’s, in short, the essence of dynamic QR codes.
In other words, Dynamic QR Code permits to change the information encoded in a QR code without having to modify the QR code itself.
Furthermore, the QR code scans are tracked and available for statistical analysis.
Let’s be plain with few simple examples:
SCENARIO: you want to store in a QR code the web page of the pharmacy in duty.
PROBLEM: the pharmacy changes at every shift, and you can’t (or don’t want to) rebuild and reprint the QR code every time.
SOLUTION: Dynamic QR Code lets you change the pharmacy web page URL without modifying the QR code.SCENARIO: you want people will be redirected to your current promotion web page after scanning the QR codes that you distributed to your resellers.
PROBLEM: the page URL changes quite often for some reason (e.g. you want to promote different products without having to modify the very same web page continuously) but you don’t want to waist your time in rebuilding, reprinting and resending QR codes to your resellers.
SOLUTION: Dynamic QR Code lets you change the redirect URL to your current promotion page without modifying the QR code.SCENARIO: you want to track the scans of your QR code to analyze data and get statistical information.
PROBLEM: there’s no easy way to track the activity of people who scan static QR codes.
SOLUTION: Dynamic QR Code automatically tracks the scans and let you download the data for statistical analysis.SCENARIO: you want your customers to scan a QR code to view the menu of your restaurant.
PROBLEM: the menu changes every day of the week, so 7 different QR codes would be necessary to cover the week.
SOLUTION: Dynamic QR Code generates a single QR code that redirects your customers depending on the day of the week.
Examples:
See the online manual for details.
From the Dynamic QR Code plugin console, create a new QR-Code item:
Then use the QR-URL generated by the plugin to create the image of your QR code, or just download the image generated in the plugin page.

Note
If you need to create QR-Codes with the same key, you have to activate the ‘Disable unique keys’ check box in the Settings page: in this case, identical keys will generate identical qr code images and the redirect URL will be chosen randomly or on the base of the conditions set in the QR-Code.
RANDOM REDIRECT
If you want users randomly redirected to a URL chosen among some:
Users will be redirected to a URL randomly drawn among the available ones (i.e. among the URLs of the valid QR-Codes with the same key of the scanned one).
Please note that the drawn procedure of URLs uses a pseudo-random generation of numbers. Therefore, do not use this feature to create true lotteries or gambling games.
DATE DEPENDENT REDIRECT
If you want users redirected to different URLs depending on the date:
The URL users will be redirected to will depend on which QR-Code will be valid at the scan date.
DAY OF THE WEEK DEPENDENT REDIRECT
If you want users redirected to different URLs depending on the day of the week:
EXCEPTION DATE FOR A DAY OF THE WEEK DEPENDENT REDIRECT
Let’s say you want your users redirected on Easter differently respect on the usual URL for Sunday:
Users will be redirected to URL1 on every Sunday but on Easter, when they’ll be redirected to URL2.
