QR codes
Every Bytes plan includes a standard QR code for each Link.
Controlled QR styling is available from Starter.
Before using a QR code
Confirm:
- the destination is correct
- the short Link works
- the Link is active
- the code scans on more than one phone
- the intended printed size is suitable
- there is enough clear space around the code
Print testing
Test a physical proof at the intended size and material.
A code that scans on screen may not scan reliably when printed small, placed behind reflective material or used at a difficult viewing angle.
Styling
Do not reduce contrast or cover essential QR modules.
Styled QR controls are paid capabilities because they require additional validation and brand handling.
Add a clear instruction
Tell the audience what will happen after scanning.
Examples include:
- View the event menu
- Book your place
- See the latest offer
- Learn more
