This plugin is a dynamic QR code generator
A dynamic QR code? Yes, the core idea is that information associated with the QR code is managed by the plugin rather than being encoded directly within the QR code itself: this is, in essence, the definition of a dynamic QR code.
In other words, Dynamic QR Code allows you to change the information linked to a QR code without having to alter the QR code itself. Additionally, scans of the QR codes are tracked and available for statistical analysis.
Let’s be straightforward with a few simple examples:
SCENARIO: you want to store the web page of the pharmacy in duty in a QR code. PROBLEM: the pharmacy changes with each shift, and you can’t (or don’t want to) rebuild and reprint the QR code every time. SOLUTION: Dynamic QR Code allows you to change the pharmacy webpage URL without modifying the QR code itself.
SCENARIO: you want customers to be redirected to your current promotion webpage after scanning the QR codes you distributed to your resellers. PROBLEM: the page URL changes frequently for various reason (e.g. you want to promote different products without continuously modifying the same webpage) but you don’t want to waste time rebuilding, reprinting and resending QR codes to your resellers. SOLUTION: Dynamic QR Code permits you to change the redirect URL to your current promotion page without modifying the QR code image.
SCENARIO: you want to track the scans of your QR code to analyze data and gather 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 lets you download the data for statistical analysis.
SCENARIO: you want your customers to scan a QR code to view your restaurant’s menu. PROBLEM: the menu changes every day of the week, so you would need 7 different QR codes would to cover the entire week. SOLUTION: Dynamic QR Code generates a single QR code that redirects your customers to the appropriate menu depending on the day of the week.
