Choosing a destination: website URL vs. Qbit page

Every Qbit code points at one of two kinds of destination. You choose when creating the code, and you can switch anytime.

Option 1: A Qbit page

Point the code at a page you've built in Qbit — a menu, a landing page, a link hub. This is the best choice when the scan should open something you control end to end:

• The page is mobile-first by design, so it looks right on the device that just scanned.
• Edits to the page go live instantly — the code and the content stay in sync without touching either.
• Page and code live in one place, one login.

Choose Qbit as the destination and pick the page from the list. If you haven't built one yet, start here.

Option 2: An external website

Point the code at any URL — your existing website, a booking system, a social profile, a PDF hosted elsewhere. Choose External site and paste the full address, including https://.

This is the right choice when the destination already exists and lives outside Qbit. You still get everything dynamic codes offer: repointing, scan analytics, and UTM tracking.

Switching or setting it later

A code doesn't need a destination to be created — an unlinked code shows "Not linked yet" on its detail page. To set or change the destination:

1. Open the code from QR Codes.
2. On the Destination card, click Set up (or Edit).
3. Pick Qbit or External site, choose the target, and click Save.

The change is live immediately, even for codes already in print. That's the whole point — see Changing a QR code's destination after printing.
