QR Type Guide
How Should You Use Catalog QR Codes?
Choose static when the encoded information will never change. Choose dynamic when you need to edit the destination after printing, track scans, pause a campaign, or keep a stable short link while the destination changes.
Best For
Campaigns where the scanner expects a focused destination and you may need analytics, design control, or a destination you can update later.
Not Best For
Cases where another QR type is more specific, such as PDF for files, vCard for contact saving, WiFi for network access, or menu QR for restaurant menus.
Before Printing
Test the final QR at real size, confirm the quiet zone, and use the size calculator when the code will appear on signs, packaging, menus, cards, or other printed material.

No more printing thousands of catalogs that become outdated within months. With dynamic catalog QR codes, you update once and every existing QR code instantly reflects the changes. It's the modern way to share your products with the world.

Measure Success
Use scan analytics to understand which products or placements drive the most engagement. Optimize your catalog strategy based on data.
What Should Your Catalog QR Code Link To?
A catalog QR code is only as good as its destination. Unlike a single product link, a catalog has to hold many items, prices, and images, and those change. The four destinations below each behave differently when customers scan, and the right pick depends on how often your catalog updates and whether you sell on the spot.
| Destination | Best for | Updates after printing? | Customer can buy? | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Uploaded PDF catalog | Wholesale & spec sheets, line cards, seasonal lookbooks | Yes: swap the file behind the same QR with a dynamic code | No: view only | Large PDFs are slow on mobile data; keep files lean |
| Hosted online store / category page | Retail & e-commerce with live inventory and checkout | Yes: your store is the live source of truth | Yes: add to cart and checkout | Out-of-stock items show unless your store hides them |
| Link-in-bio / multi-link hub | Multiple catalogs at once (retail + wholesale + new arrivals) | Yes: edit the hub links anytime | Depends on the links you add | One extra tap before the customer reaches a product |
| Static URL (fixed web address) | A permanent catalog page that will never move | No: the encoded address is locked in the printed code | Depends on the page | Reprint everything if the URL ever changes |
If your catalog is a document, a PDF QR code serves the file directly. If prices, stock, or seasonal lines change often, point a dynamic QR code at the destination so you can re-target the same printed code without reprinting a single label.
