How one code picks the page
- Top to bottom. The first rule that fits wins; the rest aren’t checked.
- All conditions in a rule must hold.
- Unknown never matches. A scan we can’t place skips every country, region and city rule.
- Otherwise catches the rest: the code’s own link.
- Up to 20 rules a code. Edits reach new scans within a minute.
Make a smart QR code in three steps
- Make a dynamic code with a free account.
- Open its Routing tab and add your rules.
- Test a scan there, then print.

What people route
Menu for the hour
Breakfast until 11, lunch after, on your own clock.
Guests in their language
German phones get the German page. Nobody hunts for a flag.
One code, both app stores
Each phone opens its own store; a computer opens your site.
Each country’s shop
One box printed for five countries, each scan to its own store.
The first 100 win
A prize page, then a thank-you. The count runs a few minutes behind.
Two landing pages
Split one flyer’s scans and compare them in analytics.
The rules editor
Conditions, a link, and the order
Pick the conditions, paste the link, and move each rule up or down. The order on screen is the order scans are checked.
Test a scan before you print
Choose a country, device, language and time, and the editor names the rule that catches it. It runs the same check as a real scan.
See which rule each scan took
Analytics count the scans down each path, so a rule that never fires stands out.
Undo a wrong edit
Every earlier “Otherwise” link is kept with its date and a Restore button.
Smart QR codes, answered
What is a smart QR code?
A dynamic QR code that opens a different page depending on who scans it and when. The print never changes; the rules sit behind its short link.
Can I add rules to a code that’s already printed?
Yes, if it’s a dynamic code. New scans follow the rules within a minute. A static code can’t be routed, because its link is inside the pattern.
How accurate is location?
Approximate. It comes from the phone’s network, never its GPS, so region and city can be wrong or unknown. A scan we can’t place never matches a place rule.
Do short links take the same rules?
Yes. Routing belongs to the link, so a short link in a bio or an email can send each click to its own page.

Campaign presets
Saved UTM parameters, so printed scans are not “direct”.Starter and up
Untagged, printed scans land in your web analytics as direct traffic. A preset fills in source, medium and campaign in one click, so the flyer and the table tent show up apart.

City-level scan locations
Which towns the scans came from, not only which countries.Pro and Business
Scans by city and region for each code, and towns on the Live Map. It’s the place the phone’s network reports, never a street.

Custom domains
