Retail marketing is no longer static. Campaigns change daily, offers rotate, and customer behavior evolves fast. Dynamic QR Codes make it possible to update destinations, track scans, and optimize campaigns in real time—without reprinting materials.

In this guide, we’ll explore how dynamic QR codes powered by the APITier QR Code API help retailers run smarter, measurable, and scalable campaigns.


What Are Dynamic QR Codes?

Unlike static QR codes, dynamic QR codes allow you to:

  • Change the destination URL anytime
  • Track scan analytics (location, device, time)
  • Run A/B tests across campaigns
  • Pause or redirect campaigns instantly

With a QR code API, retailers can automate QR creation, tracking, and updates directly from their systems.
