Changing a QR code's destination after printing

This is the superpower of dynamic codes: the printed pattern never changes, but where it sends people can. Repointing a code takes seconds and applies to every copy in the wild — no reprinting.

How to repoint a code

1. Go to QR Codes and open the code.
2. On the Destination card, click Edit.
3. Choose the new destination — a different Qbit page or a different External site URL.
4. Click Save.

That's it. The next scan of any printed copy goes to the new destination.

Why this works

The code encodes a permanent short link, not the destination itself. Scans hit the short link, which looks up the current destination and redirects. Changing the destination just changes the lookup — the printed code is untouched.

When to use it

• Fix a mistake — a typo'd URL or a page that moved.
• Rotate campaigns — the poster from the spring promo points at the summer promo now.
• Seasonal switching — one code on the door, pointing at brunch on weekends and dinner menus at night (switch it whenever you like).
• Upgrade the experience — a code that pointed at your website can start opening a purpose-built Qbit page.

Good to know

• Repointing is instant and unlimited, on every plan.
• Scan history stays with the code, not the destination — analytics continue uninterrupted across repoints.
• Use the Test link on the detail page to verify the new destination without inflating your scan count.
