What a scan does
Your QR code never changes; choose what a scan opens, and change it any time.
Every website comes with one permanent QR code and short link. The code points to a short Fwdia address that never changes, so you can print it once, on cards, menus or posters. What happens when someone scans it is a setting.
Open your site and choose QR code & short link (under Grow), then What a scan opens. Pick one of these:
| Mode | A scan... | Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Open my website | opens your website. | All plans |
| Save my contact (vCard) | adds your contact card to the phone's contacts. | Pro, Business |
| Open a file / PDF | opens an image or PDF you uploaded (a menu, a price list, a ticket). | Pro, Business |
| Draft an email to me | opens the mail app with your address, a subject and text filled in. | Pro, Business |
| Draft an SMS to me | opens the messages app with your number and a text. | Pro, Business |
| Redirect to another URL | sends the visitor to any web address, right away or during a set period. | Pro, Business |
| Call me | starts a phone call to your number. | Pro, Business |
| Share my Wi-Fi | shows a card to join your Wi-Fi, with the password to copy. | Pro, Business |
Save, and the next scan does the new thing. Nothing to reprint.
Redirect during a set period
With Redirect to another URL, choose When: right away, or scheduled with a From and an optional Until moment and a time zone. Outside that period the scan opens your site. Handy for a ticket shop that only opens on a date, or a promotion that ends.
Your custom address does the same
When you claimed an address like fwdia.com/bakery-ghent, that address follows the same setting as the QR code. Your own domain always shows the site.
Counting scans
Scans count as visits from QR in Insights.
