Understand the difference between dynamic and static QR Codes and find out which one is right for your case.
What is a static QR Code?
The static QR Code is the simplest: the information is stored directly in the code. When you create a static QR pointing to "https://link.superplural.com", that URL is permanently embedded in the image. If you print it and want to change the destination later, there is no way to do it - you will need to generate a new QR and reprint everything.
What is a dynamic QR Code?
The dynamic QR Code works differently: the code points to an intermediate link (managed by the system, like the Superplural Link), and this link redirects to the final destination. The magic is that you can change the final destination at any time without altering the printed QR code. The code remains the same, but the destination changes!
Table of differences: dynamic vs static
When to use a static QR Code?
The static QR makes sense in very specific situations:
- Unique and punctual event: the QR code only needs to work on that day (tickets, credentials).
- 💳 Simple business card: if you are never going to change your WhatsApp or website.
- 📶 Offline content: share WiFi, mobile contact, or plain text - does not need the internet to work.
- 🖨️ Material that you will never reprint again.
When to use dynamic QR Code?
For most business uses, the dynamic QR code is the right choice. See when it is essential:
- 🍕 Restaurant menu: you will update the dishes and prices - you cannot reprint every time.
- 🏪 Store showcase: the featured product changes constantly.
- 📊 Marketing campaign: you want to know how many people scanned and where they came from.
- 📇 Professional business card: if you change positions, website, or number, just update the link.
- 🎯 Any printed material that will last more than 1 month.

What happens if my account on Superplural Link is closed? The dynamic QR would stop working. That's why it's important to keep the account active. The static QR is independent of this.
