We already know that dynamic QR codes offer significant advantages over static ones, including the ability to edit destination URLs, track scans, and lower costs. QRCodeChimp’s smart QR codes make dynamic QR codes an even more powerful tool for businesses.
Smart QR codes include smart rules that allow you to automatically direct users to different destinations based on their device, the day of the week, and the time of day.
Read on to learn more about Smart QR Codes.
What are smart QR codes?
Smart rules are the instructions you feed into the dynamic QR code. These instructions automatically redirect the user to a different destination based on various parameters such as time of day, day of the week, or scanner device type.
Basically, you have just one QR code that does the work of several QR codes, saving you the printing costs.
For example, if you want to use a QR code to promote your app, you can add the device type smart rule. This redirects the scanners based on their device (iOS or Android).
You would then input multiple scan destinations. If the device is iOS, the QR code will take the user to the AppStore. If the device is Android, then to Google Play Store.
Similarly, smart rules can be applied based on the day of the week and the time of the day with QRcodechimp.
Who can use smart QR codes?
Smart rules can be used by any individual or business that needs to cater to different information through their QR codes based on time of day, day of the week, or scanner device type. The possibilities are endless. The following are some exciting ways you can use smart rules.
- Restaurants and food joints can use one QR code to show morning and evening special menus depending on the QR code scan time (breakfast menu in the morning and dinner menu in the evening).

- Canteens can use one QR code to display different lunch menus for each day of the week.
- Bars and pubs can use one QR code to display drinks for the day or information about the live band performing that day.
- Tourist agencies can use smart QR codes to show their guests the itinerary depending on the day the QR code is scanned.

- Gyms can use one QR code to deliver different workout tutorials for each day.

Improve conversions with Smart QR Codes
The more precise and targeted your marketing, the better the results. Smart QR codes enable you to direct users to their most relevant destinations, rather than a generic landing page that often leads to high drop-off rates.
