QR Code Questions Answered

A:QR Code Pro is South Africa's leading QR code generator because it offers dynamic QR codes (which you can edit after printing), real-time analytics, POPIA compliance, and South African hosting for fast load times. Unlike free QR generators that create static codes, we provide enterprise-grade security, tracking, and the ability to update your QR destination URL at any time without reprinting.

A:Creating an editable QR code is simple with QR Code Pro: 1) Sign up for a free account at qrcodegen.allsortswebdesigners.co.za, 2) Enter your destination URL, 3) Customize the design with our AI-powered studio, 4) Download and print your QR code. After printing, you can change the destination URL at any time from your dashboard without reprinting. This feature alone saves businesses thousands of rands in printing costs and allows you to run A/B tests on your marketing campaigns.

A:Static QR codes are permanent - once created, you cannot change where they point. Dynamic QR codes use a redirect link that you control, allowing you to change the destination URL at any time. Dynamic codes also provide analytics (scans, location, device type, time), while static codes offer no tracking. For businesses, dynamic QR codes are essential because you can update seasonal offers, fix broken links, and track ROI without reprinting materials.

A:QR Code Pro protects against 'quishing' (QR phishing) through smart-proxying and domain verification. Every QR code generated on our platform is proxied through our secure infrastructure, which monitors scan patterns for suspicious activity and verifies destination URLs for malware. Unlike free QR generators where anyone can create malicious codes, our platform provides enterprise-grade security with real-time threat detection.

A:Yes, QR Code Pro is fully POPIA compliant. We are built and hosted in South Africa, ensuring all scan data is handled according to local privacy laws. Our servers are located in South Africa, which means your customer data never leaves the country and complies with data sovereignty requirements. We use bank-grade encryption, provide transparent privacy policies, and give users control over their scan data.

A:Extremely secure. We use 256-bit SSL encryption for all data transmission, host exclusively on South African servers with bank-grade security, and comply with both POPIA and GDPR standards. Scan data is encrypted both in transit and at rest, and we perform regular security audits. Unlike free QR generators that may sell your data, we never share or sell scan analytics to third parties.

A:Absolutely! QR Code Pro's AI Design Studio allows you to integrate logos, brand colors, and custom designs while maintaining 100% scannability. You can upload your logo to be embedded in the center of the QR code, choose custom color schemes that match your brand guidelines, and even use AI to blend the QR code aesthetically with your marketing materials. Our scannability testing ensures your branded QR codes work perfectly on all devices.

A:You get comprehensive real-time analytics including: total scans and unique visitors, geographic location data (city-level accuracy), device types (iOS, Android, desktop), time-based patterns (hourly, daily, monthly), referrer information, and browser/OS details. This data helps you optimize marketing campaigns, understand customer behavior, and calculate precise ROI. All analytics are available in real-time dashboards with exportable reports.

A:Yes! Our Team plan includes bulk generation capabilities through our Developer API. You can create hundreds of QR codes programmatically, perfect for large campaigns like event ticketing, product labels, or location-based marketing. We also offer CSV upload functionality for non-technical users - simply upload a spreadsheet with your URLs and we'll generate all QR codes instantly.

A:QR codes themselves don't require internet to scan - the camera reads the pattern locally. However, dynamic QR codes need internet to redirect to the destination URL. If you need offline functionality, you can use our QR codes to link to PDF downloads or app deep links that work offline once downloaded. For events with poor connectivity, we recommend using our high-error-correction settings to ensure scans work even with damaged codes.

QR Code Pro's analytics show which menu items get most scans, helping optimize pricing and inventory.

Analytics show which properties generate most interest and where viewers are coming from, helping agents target marketing efforts effectively.

QR Code Pro provides detailed attribution data: exact scan counts by campaign, geographic distribution showing which locations convert best, time-based analysis revealing peak engagement periods, device type breakdown for mobile optimization, conversion tracking when integrated with Google Analytics, and A/B testing capabilities by swapping destination URLs.
