Unlock the power of QR Codes: choose the right type for your needs

QR codes are a versatile tool that can help you engage your audience, streamline your operations and share information in an instant. Pipao offers various types of QR codes to meet your specific goals, whether you're looking to share a website, connect people to Wi-Fi or keep your contact info updated.

Here's a breakdown of each type of QR code available in Pipao and how each one can deliver high value for your business.


1. Static QR Codes: simple, reliable, perfect for basic uses

Static QR codes are ideal for information that doesn't need to change. They're set up once, and their data stays the same. If you want to provide straightforward, permanent links or contact details, static codes are the way to go.

  • Great for: direct links to web pages, fixed contact details, product information that won't change or any information that needs to remain consistent.
  • Key benefit: Once created, these codes can be printed and used indefinitely without requiring updates or maintenance. They're reliable and low-cost, especially for use cases where the content won't change.

2. Dynamic QR Codes: flexible, updatable and ideal for evolving content

Dynamic QR codes are where Pipao really shines. With dynamic codes, you can update the linked content anytime without changing the QR code itself.

This means you don't have to reprint anything or replace codes after they're created. It's a smart solution for anyone with evolving or time-sensitive content.

  • Great for: campaigns, promotions, event info, or any content you might need to update after the QR code has been printed or distributed.
  • Key benefit: Dynamic codes save you money and hassle, as they can adapt to changing information instantly, keeping your content fresh and relevant.

3. Wi-Fi QR Codes: seamless access, easy connectivity for customers

Simplify customer access to your Wi-Fi network with a dedicated Wi-Fi QR code. Instead of typing in complex network passwords, your guests can scan a QR code and connect instantly.

  • Great for: cafes, restaurants, events or any setting where you want to provide guests with quick and easy Wi-Fi access.
  • Key benefit: Improve customer experience by offering seamless, hassle-free Wi-Fi access—no passwords required, just a scan away!

4. vCard QR Codes: make networking effortless with digital contact sharing

With a vCard QR code, sharing contact information is as easy as scanning. When someone scans a vCard QR code, your name, phone number, email and other contact details are saved directly to their phone. Perfect for business cards, networking events or customer touchpoints.

  • Great for: professionals looking to share contact information quickly, brands that want to provide easy customer service contact or anyone who networks frequently.
  • Key benefit: Eliminate manual data entry errors and ensure that your contacts have accurate, complete information. vCard QR codes make it easy to connect and follow up.

5. App Link QR Codes: direct users to your app instantly

If you have a mobile app, Pipao's app link QR codes allow users to be directed straight to the App Store or Google Play, depending on their device. It's a smart way to increase downloads by reducing friction in the process.

  • Great for: app developers, digital product businesses or any brand with a mobile app that wants to increase accessibility and engagement.
  • Key benefit: Boost app downloads and improve customer experience by taking them directly to your app with a single scan.

6. Multi-URL QR Codes: location-based links for tailored experiences

Multi-URL QR codes let you link to different URLs based on the user's location, time of scan or the device they're using. This is ideal for providing targeted, location-specific information with a single code.

  • Great for: global businesses, event planners and marketers who want to deliver custom content based on audience location or device type.
  • Key benefit: Create personalized experiences by serving the right content to the right users at the right time, all through a single QR code.
