Getting started with QR Hero

Welcome to QR Hero. This guide walks you through the essentials: signing up, creating your first code, and understanding how dynamic QR codes differ from static ones.

#Create your account

1. Open Register and enter your name, email, and password.
2. Choose a plan that matches your expected scan volume and feature needs.
3. Complete organisation profile details when prompted — billing address and VAT ID unlock correct tax handling on invoices.

After registration you land on the Codes dashboard for your active organisation.

#Your first QR code

1. Click Create code and pick a product type. Most teams start with Dynamic link (a re-pointable URL short link).
2. Give the code a memorable slug and destination URL.
3. Customise the QR design in the preview panel — colours, logo, margin, and output size.
4. Save the code. QR Hero queues a render job and writes the redirect cache entry automatically.

Your public short link looks like https://qr.qrhero.link/your-org/slug unless you attach a custom domain.

#Dynamic vs static

A dynamic QR code keeps the printed image unchanged while you edit the destination, routing rules, schedule, or analytics tags in the dashboard. That is the core value of QR Hero: print once, iterate forever.

#What to configure next

• Brand — logo, colours, and landing-page styling applied to prelanders and link pages.
• Domain — replace the shared qr.qrhero.link host with your own subdomain when your plan includes custom domains.
• Analytics — open the analytics view after your first scans to see countries, devices, and unique visitors.

#Tips for production rollouts

• Test the live redirect with a real phone scan before printing at scale.
• Keep a fallback destination configured so expired schedules or paused codes show a friendly message instead of a blank error.
• Use Tracking groups when you need campaign-level rollups across many codes.
