QR Codes¶
Turn any short link into a scannable, on-brand QR code in one click — then print it anywhere. The magic is what happens after you print: because the code points to your GoByte short link, every scan is tracked in your analytics, and you can change where it goes at any time — without ever reprinting the code.
That's the difference. A raw QR code is frozen the moment ink hits paper. A GoByte QR code stays editable and measurable for its entire life.
Why a GoByte QR code¶
-
Editable after it's printed
Point the code at a new landing page, a seasonal promo, or an updated product — long after the flyers, packaging, or signage have shipped. The printed square never changes; the destination does.
-
Every scan is tracked
Each scan flows into the same analytics as your clicks — total scans, location, device, and trend over time. You finally know whether that poster, menu, or business card is actually working.
Generate a QR code¶
- Open any short link in your dashboard — or create a new one from New Link.
- Select QR code. GoByte instantly generates a scannable code for that link.
- Match your brand. Set the code's color to your brand color so it looks at home on your packaging, deck, or signage.
- Download it and drop it into whatever you're designing — print, screen, or packaging artwork.
Design once, reuse forever
Because the destination is editable, you can lock in a single QR code for a reusable asset — a menu, a product box, a booth banner — and simply re-point it whenever the campaign behind it changes.
What you get¶
| Feature | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| Brand color | Match the code to your palette so it looks designed, not bolted on |
| Download | Save the code for print, packaging, signage, business cards, and events |
| Tracked scans | Every scan lands in your analytics — volume, location, device, trend |
| Editable destination | Change where the code points anytime — no reprinting |
Use cases¶
-
Product packaging
Print a code on the box that links to setup guides, warranty registration, or a reorder page — and swap the destination as products evolve.
-
Print ads & flyers
Bridge print to digital and, for the first time, measure it. See exactly how many readers scanned that magazine spread or street poster.
-
Restaurant menus
One code on the table opens your live menu. Update prices or specials online without reprinting a single card.
-
Events & signage
Booth banners, badges, and stage screens can all point to a schedule, sign-up, or offer — then re-point to a follow-up the moment the event ends.
