QR Codes

QR codes in Marketix let you encode a variety of content types into a scannable code. Dynamic QR codes are backed by a project short link, so every scan is tracked and the destination can be changed without reprinting the code.

The QR codes list

Open QR Codes from the sidebar. The table shows every QR code in the project, ordered newest first:

Column	Description
Name	The label you gave the QR code
Type	The content type (e.g. Link, WiFi, vCard)
Kind	Dynamic or Static badge
Scans	Total scan count (shown only for dynamic QR codes; static QR codes show a dash)

Click a row or the pencil icon to edit the QR code. The trash icon deletes it after a confirmation prompt.

Creating a QR code

Click Create QR code. You can also create a QR code directly from a link’s action menu — in that case, the QR code is automatically attached to the existing short link. If the link already has a QR code, you are redirected to that QR code’s edit page instead of the creator.

Name

Enter a descriptive name for the QR code (e.g. “Website QR – print campaign”). This is internal only and not encoded in the QR.

Static vs dynamic

Use the Static QR / Dynamic QR toggle to choose a mode:

• Static — the content is encoded directly into the image. The destination cannot be changed after the code is printed, and scans are not tracked.
• Dynamic — the code encodes a short link that redirects to your destination. Scans are tracked (location, device, referrer) and you can update the destination at any time without changing the printed code.

Some content types are available in both modes; others are dynamic-only or static-only. The type picker shows a Trackable or Not tracked badge on each type to make this clear.

Content types

Select the content type from the type grid, then fill in the corresponding fields:

Type	Mode	Fields
Text	Static	Free-form text
SMS & Message	Both	Phone number, pre-filled message (optional)
WiFi	Static	SSID, password, encryption (WPA/WPA2, WEP, or None), hidden network flag
vCard	Both	Full name, organisation, phone, email, website, address. You can also drag-drop or upload a .vcf file to pre-populate the fields.
Event	Static	Title, start date/time, end date/time, location, description
Link	Both	Target URL
Email	Both	Email address, subject (optional), body (optional)
Phone	Both	Phone number
Application	Both	App Store URL (iOS), Google Play URL (Android), fallback URL
File	Both	Direct link to the file (PDF, image, etc.)
WhatsApp	Both	Phone number (with country code), pre-filled message
Cryptocurrency	Both	Currency (BTC, ETH, LTC, BCH, XRP, DOGE, SOL, USDT, BNB, or ADA), wallet address, amount (optional), label (optional)

Tracking link (dynamic QR codes only)

When the QR is dynamic (and not attached to an existing link), choose the Domain and enter a Slug for the backing short link. The encoded short URL is shown below the slug field in real time.

Advanced link settings — click the collapsed panel to configure the same advanced options available on a regular short link: status, password protection, expiry date, geo/device/language targeting, A/B rotation, and tracking pixels. See Links for details on each option.

Note

If you open the QR code creator from an existing link (via that link’s action menu), the backing link is fixed and read-only. The advanced settings panel is still available and will update the shared link everywhere it is used.

Style editor

Switch to the Style tab (or stay on it if the QR is attached to an existing link) to customise the appearance:

Colors

• Foreground — the color of the QR dots and corner elements (default: #000000).
• Background — the color of the QR background (default: #ffffff). Both fields accept a hex color picker and a text input.

Matrix style — shape of the data dots:

Option	Shape
Square	Filled squares
Dots	Circles
Rounded	Squares with moderate rounding
Classy	Diamond shapes
Classy Rnd	Rounded diamonds
Extra Rnd	Circles with heavy rounding

Eye frame — shape of the outer corner squares (the three large squares that help scanners orient the code): Square, Dot, or Rounded.

Eye ball — shape of the inner corner dot: Square or Dot.

Logo / Icon — three tabs:

• None — no logo overlay.
• Predefined — pick from a built-in icon library.
• Custom — upload any image file as the logo.

When a logo is active, an Icon size slider controls the logo’s size from 10 % to 60 % of the QR canvas (default: 30 %).

Preview and download

A live preview renders on the right side of the form as you change content or style. Two download buttons appear beneath the preview:

• PNG — raster image, suitable for most print and digital uses.
• SVG — vector image, best for high-resolution print.

Downloads use the QR code’s name as the filename.

Saving

Click Create QR code to save. The first save automatically creates version 1 in the version history.

Editing a QR code

Click a row in the list or the pencil icon to open the edit form. All content, style, and tracking-link settings are available. Click Save changes when done.

Caution

Changing the type, switching between static and dynamic, or changing the short-link domain or slug on an existing dynamic QR code will make any printed copies of that code redirect differently. A confirmation dialog appears when a change is considered risky.

Version history

Every time you save a QR code (create or update), a snapshot of its current state is recorded automatically. The Version history panel appears below the edit form.

Click the panel header to expand it. Each entry shows:

• Version number (v1, v2, …), with the current version marked
• Content type and mode (dynamic/static)
• Who saved it and when

The top entry is always the current version; it has no Restore button. All earlier versions have a Restore button. Clicking it prompts for confirmation, then rolls the QR code — including its content, style, and (if dynamic) domain and slug — back to that snapshot. Restoring creates a new version entry so the restore action itself is also recorded.

Note

If the slug stored in an old version is already in use by a different link, the restore will fail with an error message. Free up the slug first and retry.

Up to 50 versions are shown in the panel.

Deleting a QR code

Click the trash icon on the list row or use the delete option in the edit form. Deleting a dynamic QR code also deletes its backing short link. This action cannot be undone from the UI.
