Dynamic vs. static QR codes

When to use a dynamic QR code you can edit after printing, and when a static code is the better choice.

Dynamic codes

A dynamic code encodes a short Lynqr address (lynqr.app/q/AbC1234). When someone scans it, Lynqr records the scan and sends them to the code's current destination.

Website, document, app-store and contact-card codes can be dynamic. Documents and app-store codes are always dynamic.

Static codes

A static code contains the content itself: Wi-Fi credentials, a phone number, an email draft or text.

Use static codes for Wi-Fi, phone, SMS, email and plain text, and wherever a code must work without an internet connection.
