A dynamic QR code?
Yes, the core idea is that information associated with the QR code is managed by the plugin rather than being encoded directly within the QR code itself: this is, in essence, the definition of a dynamic QR code.
In other words, Dynamic QR Code allows you to change the information linked to a QR code without having to alter the QR code itself.
Additionally, scans of the QR codes are tracked and available for statistical analysis.
Let’s be straightforward with a few simple examples:
SCENARIO: you want to store the web page of the pharmacy in duty in a QR code.
PROBLEM: the pharmacy changes with each shift, and you can’t (or don’t want to) rebuild and reprint the QR code every time.
SOLUTION: Dynamic QR Code…
Works well loads of options to set validity (date, amount of scans etc) and to configure alternative actions in case the validity limits get reached. A good (visual) dashboard with statistics of QR per selected time period would be nice.
This would be a fabulous plugin with some minor tweaks to the log screen. It needs to display the QR code description and provide count by QR code. I would even pay!
It’s free and it works as expected. Bravo to the devs! I would prefer a bit more data in the scan log such as browser/OS and location, but I am very pleased with how it is working right away!
All other options for dynamic QR codes were either paid or non existing.
This was the only plugin I found that does all this directly in our WordPress backend, and I do not have to deal with other sites and subscriptions.
Very happy.
I would even pay for it some reasonable yearly fee , if it helps to drive development and add new features.
But already as it is, it is perfect.
Today, I worked with a client to review and install this plugin. My client is very computer literate, but not a developer. It was easy for her to setup for the use they wanted with a few hints. It always makes me look good when I find a high quality plugin!
