QR code custom domain and short links

Every dynamic QR code in QRplify holds a short link. Edit that link on any plan, Free included, or put your codes on your own domain with Unlimited or Lifetime.

In short

The short answer

Short links
Every plan, Free included. Edit the slug of each dynamic code’s short link.
Your own domain
Unlimited, $34.49 a month, or Lifetime, $279 once.
DNS record
A CNAME record at your domain registrar, for a subdomain such as qr.your-website.com.
Set up time
Up to 24 hours for the record to be found, then up to 24 hours while QRplify sets up the domain.
Before you print
Pick the slug and the domain first. Once a short link changes, printed copies stop working.
Static codes
They have no short link. A static code holds your link itself.

Your own domain

How do I use a custom domain for QR codes?

Add a CNAME record for a subdomain at your domain registrar, add the domain in your account, and test the connection. Once it is published, pick it for any dynamic code. It comes with Unlimited and Lifetime.

  1. Open Add your domainIn a code’s Customize your link, click Add your own domain / subdomain. The page opens in a new tab.
  2. Add a CNAME recordAt your domain registrar, add a CNAME record for a subdomain such as qr.your-website.com, pointing to the address the page names.
  3. Save and testType the domain under Domain Name and click Save. Then click Test Connection beside it in your list of domains.
  4. Wait for PublishedOnce the record is found, the domain shows In Progress while QRplify sets it up, within 24 hours. You get an email when it is published.

If the record is not there yet, the page says DNS record not found and shows the CNAME it expects. It may take up to 24 hours for a new record to be found.

Then open a code, click the edit icon by its short URL and pick your domain under Select domain. As with a slug, do it before you print.

Keep the domain once codes are out. If you delete it, every printed code that uses it stops working. The app asks you to confirm first, unless the domain is still a draft.

FAQ

Custom domain questions

Short answers, from what the app does today.

Can I use my own domain for QR codes?

Yes, on Unlimited and Lifetime. Point a CNAME record for a subdomain, such as qr.your-website.com, to QRplify, add the domain in your account, and your dynamic codes can use it.

Which DNS record does a QR code custom domain need?

A CNAME record at your domain registrar, pointing to the address the Add your domain page names. It may take up to 24 hours for the record to be found.

Can I change the short link of a QR code?

Yes, on every plan, for a dynamic code. Click the edit icon by its short URL and type a new slug. Do it before you print: printed codes stop working once the short URL changes.

Can I change a QR code’s domain after printing?

You can, but every printed copy stops working, because the domain is part of the short link the pattern holds. Pick the domain before you print.

Is a custom domain in the free trial?

No. The trial is 14 days of Premium, and Premium has no custom domain. It starts on Unlimited.

What happens if I delete my domain?

Every printed code that uses it stops working. The app asks you to confirm first, unless the domain is still a draft.

Do static QR codes have a short link?

No. A static code holds your link itself, so there is no short link to edit and no domain to pick.
