Creating a QR code

Creating a code takes about a minute, and every choice you make here can be changed later - including where it points.

1. In the portal, go to QR Codes and click Create a QR Code.

2. Give the code a Name (e.g. "Restaurant Menu QR Code") and an optional Description. Names are for you; scanners never see them.

3. Under Where should it go?, choose a destination:

   • Qbit - a page you've built in Qbit. Pick it from the list.
   • External site - any website. Paste the full URL, including https://.
   • You can also skip this and connect a destination later.

4. Under Design your QR code, style the code or start from a template. The live Preview on the right updates as you go - see Customizing your QR code's design.

   

5. Optionally add Tags and UTM Parameters (both Premium) to keep codes organized and campaigns measurable.

6. Click Create.

You'll land on the code's detail page, where you can copy its short scan link, download it, and manage everything about it.

A few things worth knowing:

• Every code gets a permanent short link (like /qr/a1b2c3). That's what the pattern encodes - the destination is looked up at scan time, which is why it's editable forever.
• The Test link on the detail page opens the destination without counting as a scan - use it freely.
• The Starter plan includes 3 QR codes; Premium raises that to 100, and Team has no limit.
