Redirect a QR code to a different URL.

Edit the destination, keep the print.

The problem

Your QR is out in the wild — printed on signs, business cards, packaging — and you need it to take scanners somewhere different. Maybe the campaign URL changed. Maybe the form moved. Maybe you want to A/B-test two landing pages. The naive answer ('reprint everything') is expensive and slow.

The fix

If the QR was created as a dynamic QR code, redirecting is built in: log into QRThis, open the QR, change the destination URL, save. The next scan hits the new URL. If it was static, you can still redirect at the URL level — point the originally-encoded URL at your new page using a 301 redirect on your webserver — but this only works if you control the original domain.

What you get

  • Dynamic QR re-target: log in → edit → save. The redirect server picks up the change on the next request.
  • Static QR workaround: add a 301 redirect on your webserver from the originally-encoded URL to the new one. Works for any URL you control.
  • If neither applies (static QR pointing at a domain you don't control), the only fix is to reprint with a new QR.
  • Going forward: use dynamic QRs by default so this becomes a non-event. First one free at QRThis.
