Changing the Destination of a QR Code: A New Level of Flexibility
Unlock the Power of Dynamic QR Codes for Seamless Updates
QR codes are everywhere. From restaurant menus to event tickets and marketing flyers, these black-and-white squares have become a staple in our daily lives. But what happens when the content linked to a QR code needs to change? Traditionally, you’d have to generate a new QR code and redistribute it—a process that’s time-consuming and costly. Fortunately, there’s a smarter solution: dynamic QR codes.
In this blog, we’ll explore how dynamic QR codes allow you to change the destination of a QR code without replacing the code itself. We’ll walk you through the steps, highlight the key benefits, and show you how to easily create and manage dynamic QR codes using Funshow.

What is a Dynamic QR Code?
Before diving into how to change a QR code’s destination, let’s clarify the difference between static and dynamic QR codes:
- Static QR Codes: These have a fixed destination, like a website or PDF, and can’t be changed once generated.
- Dynamic QR Codes: These are flexible. Instead of encoding the final URL directly, they point to a redirect link on a server, allowing you to update the destination anytime without altering the QR code itself.
Dynamic QR codes are perfect for scenarios where you need to frequently change the linked content, such as seasonal promotions, event updates, or evolving marketing campaigns.
How to Change the Destination of a QR Code
With dynamic QR codes, changing the destination is straightforward. Here’s how you can do it using Funshow:
- Create a Dynamic QR Code: Generate a dynamic QR code on our platform. Choose the type of link, such as a URL, WhatsApp message, or social media page.
- Distribute the QR Code: Once created, print it on flyers, add it to digital ads, or share it via email—it’s ready to go.
- Update the Destination: When you need to change the content, simply log into the Funshow dashboard, select the QR code you want to update, enter the new URL or content, and save. The new destination is live instantly—no reprinting required.
This process is quick, easy, and requires no technical expertise, making it ideal for everyone from small business owners to marketing professionals.
Why Dynamic QR Codes Are Indispensable
Dynamic QR codes offer unmatched flexibility, especially for businesses and creators who need to pivot quickly. Here are some core benefits:
- Cost Savings: No need to reprint or redesign materials when content changes.
- Time Efficiency: Update destinations in seconds via a simple dashboard.
- Eco-Friendly: Reuse the same QR code, reducing waste.
Better yet, with Funshow, you can even schedule your QR code to redirect to different URLs at specific times or dates. For example, a single QR code could point to a breakfast menu in the morning and automatically switch to a dinner menu in the evening. This is perfect for time-sensitive promotions, events, or daily specials.
Real-World Use Cases for Dynamic QR Codes
Dynamic QR codes are versatile across industries. Here are a few practical examples:
- Restaurants: Update menus seasonally or switch between breakfast, lunch, and dinner offerings without changing the QR code.
- Event Organizers: Start with a registration page before the event, shift to a schedule during, and end with a feedback form afterward.
- Marketers: Test different landing pages or offers by updating the QR code’s destination to see what performs best.
These examples illustrate how dynamic QR codes adapt to your needs, saving time and resources while keeping your audience engaged.
