Dynamic QR code use cases

A dynamic QR code is useful wherever a printed item stays in place longer than the information it points to. With QR Suisse, a dynamic QR code generator published by Skyday Sàrl, you change the destination from your account, without reprinting, and track the number of scans of each QR code, day by day.

Static or dynamic: which one for printed material?

A static QR code contains its destination in the pattern of the code itself. It works without a third-party service, but it can no longer be changed after printing, and it does not count scans. If the information will never change and you don't need to know whether the item is being used, a static QR code is enough. QR Suisse only creates dynamic QR codes, from an account.

A dynamic QR code goes through a short address that redirects at the moment of the scan. You can change the destination, fix a mistake or extend the life of a printed item, and see how many times it is scanned. In return, it works as long as your QR Suisse account stays active and the service is available.

Frequently asked questions

What is a dynamic QR code for?
It keeps printed material useful when the information changes: a new page, a new form, new opening hours. You change the destination from your QR Suisse account, and materials already printed lead to the new page. For each QR code, QR Suisse keeps a total count and a number of scans per day; neither the device, nor the country, nor the IP address of the person scanning is stored in the database.
What is the difference between a static and a dynamic QR code?
A static QR code encodes a fixed destination, embedded directly in the code itself. A dynamic QR code points to a redirect you can change at any time from your account, without reprinting the physical medium.
Which QR code types does QR Suisse offer?

Seven types:

  • the Link family: Web, Email, SMS, Phone and FTP;
  • Business card, which offers to save a contact on the phone;
  • Calendar, which offers to add an event to the calendar.

Within the Link family, you can switch from one type to another (from Web to SMS, for example). In the dashboard, the Link, Business card or Calendar type is set at creation. Via the API (Pro and Entreprise plans), a Link and a Calendar can change type along with their destination; a Business card always keeps its type.

Will a printed QR code still work in several years?
As long as your QR Suisse account stays active and the service is available, yes: you can change its destination at any time without reprinting the material.
What if I need more than 3 QR codes?
On the Free plan, you archive a QR code you no longer need, which frees up a slot, or you switch to the Pro plan, where active QR codes are unlimited. If you later return to the Free plan with more than 3 active QR codes, the excess QR codes remain usable for 14 days through an intermediate page, and are then paused.

Your profession isn't listed?

QR Suisse is a general-purpose dynamic QR code generator: these pages describe common situations, not limits. The company account is open to companies, self-employed people and associations. The Free plan is available immediately, with no credit card.
