Unlike a static QR code, a dynamic QR encodes a short URL that redirects to your content — so you can **change the destination after printing** and **measure every scan**. * **Works out of the box** — generate a static QR code for any post with no account at all. * **One-click dynamic QR per post or page** — generate it from the editor sidebar; if the permalink changes later, the QR keeps working (the plugin updates the destination automatically). * **`[qrtop]` shortcode** — insert the QR anywhere in your content, with adjustable size. * **Scan analytics** — date, device type, and approximate location of every scan, in your QR Top dashboard. * **QR codes that never expire** — the free plan includes 5 dynamic QR codes with no time limit and no credit card. Perfect for restaurant menus, flyers, business cards, packaging, posters and any printed material that points to your website. #### How it works The plugin connects to your [QR Top](https://qr-top.com) account through its REST API. Creating an account is free and takes a minute. The QR image itself is drawn locally in the browser — the plugin only talks to the API when you create or update a QR code from the admin. #### Free vs paid The free QR Top plan includes 5 dynamic QR codes, full design customization, and scan analytics for the last 7 days. Paid plans add unlimited QR codes, full analytics history, custom domains and team features. The plugin itself is 100% free. ### Source code All PHP, CSS and JavaScript written for this plugin is included unminified in this package. The plugin bundles two third-party QR rendering libraries, both MIT licensed, whose complete source code and build tools are publicly maintained at their development locations: * qrcode-generator 1.4.4 by Kazuhiko Arase — https://github.com/kazuhikoarase/qrcode- generator (bundled as `assets/js/qrcode.js`) * qr-code-styling 1.9.2 by Denys Kozak — https://github.com/kozakdenys/qr-code- styling (bundled as the published UMD build `assets/js/qr-code-styling.js`) ### External services This plugin connects to the QR Top API (https://qr-top.com) to create and manage your dynamic QR codes. It sends: the destination URL and title of the entries you generate QR codes for, and your API key for authentication. No data is sent for visitors of your site — QR images are rendered locally in the browser and scans are recorded by QR Top’s redirect service, not by this plugin. See QR Top’s [privacy policy](https://qr-top.com/en/privacy) and [terms of service](https://qr-top.com/en/terms). ## Installation 1. Install and activate the plugin. 2. Go to **QR Top** in your admin menu. 3. Paste your API key (create a free account at qr-top.com if you don’t have one — Settings API Create key). 4. Edit any post or page and click **Generate QR code** in the QR Top box. 5. Insert it in your content with the `[qrtop]` shortcode. ## FAQ ### Can I change the URL after printing the QR code? Yes — that is exactly what dynamic QR codes are for. The printed QR encodes a short URL that redirects to your content; you can change the destination anytime from your QR Top dashboard, and the plugin does it automatically if your permalink changes. ### Do the QR codes expire? No. QR Top’s free plan has no trial countdown: your 5 free dynamic QR codes keep working forever, even if you never pay. ### Do I need a QR Top account? Not for static QR codes — those work instantly with no account. Dynamic QR codes( editable after printing, with scan analytics) require a free QR Top account, since the redirects and analytics live there. ### Does the plugin slow down my site? No. QR images are drawn in the visitor’s browser from a bundled 20KB library, with no external requests on your public pages. ### Where do I see the scan statistics? In your QR Top dashboard (qr-top.com): scans per day, device types and countries for each QR code. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Dynamic QR Codes by QR Top” is open source software.
