How to create a QR code

Creating a QR code takes five steps: choose the data type, encode the destination, design the appearance (logo and colours), test the scan with a real phone, and decide between a static or dynamic code. With QRCode Suite, all five steps happen inside your WordPress dashboard and the QR remains scan-tested before export.

  1. 1

    Choose the data type

    Pick what the QR will encode: URL, vCard, Wi-Fi, SMS, email, WhatsApp, PDF, or plain text. URL is the most flexible for marketing.

  2. 2

    Encode the destination

    For a URL QR, paste the landing page. For Wi-Fi, enter SSID and password. The encoder handles escape characters automatically.

  3. 3

    Design the appearance

    Apply brand colours, choose a frame, and optionally embed a logo. Keep contrast above 4.5:1 between foreground and background.

  4. 4

    Test the scan

    Print the QR at the actual target size and scan with at least two phone models. Codes smaller than 2 cm scan unreliably on most cameras.

  5. 5

    Choose static or dynamic

    Static codes encode the URL directly — destination fixed forever. Dynamic codes use a short redirect — destination editable after print.

Frequently asked questions

What is QRCode Suite?

QRCode Suite is a premium WordPress plugin that generates branded, dynamic QR codes directly inside your WordPress dashboard. Scan data is stored on your own server — not on a third-party SaaS platform — and WooCommerce orders can be attributed to specific QR codes.

Does QRCode Suite require a separate subscription?

The Free plan is available at no cost. Paid plans (Pro, Business, Agency) are licensed per WordPress site and billed monthly or annually. There is no separate per-scan fee.

What QR code types does QRCode Suite support?

QRCode Suite supports 15 QR code types: URL, vCard, Wi-Fi, SMS, Email, WhatsApp, PDF, Coupon, Plain Text, Social profile, WooCommerce Product, WooCommerce Reorder, Link Hub, Phone, and Dynamic URL.

Can I change the destination of a QR code after printing it?

Yes. Dynamic QR codes use a short redirect URL. You can update the destination from your WordPress dashboard at any time without generating or reprinting the code.

Is QRCode Suite GDPR-compliant?

Yes. QRCode Suite hashes IP addresses with SHA-256 before storage so no raw IPs are ever saved. It also filters bot traffic automatically and includes configurable data-retention settings.
