What it’s for

A Website URL QR code redirects anyone who scans it straight to a web address — a landing page, a product listing, a menu hosted elsewhere, anything with a URL. It’s the simplest Quick Code: no landing page is built, the QR just encodes (or, for a Dynamic code, redirects to) the link you provide.
This is a Quick Code — a direct-action QR with no landing page, distinct from Build a Page (the block-based landing page builder). See Quick Code vs. full Page for when to use which.

Create a Website URL QR code

1

Open Create QR Code and choose Quick Code

From the sidebar, go to QR Codes, then click Create QR Code (or navigate to /qr/create). Click the Quick Code card — labeled “A direct QR code for a URL, phone, email, Wi-Fi, or plain text. No landing page.”
2

Pick Website URL

On the Quick Code type grid, click Configure under Website URL, in the Dynamic section at the top. This opens the form at /qr/quick/url.
3

Enter the URL

Type the destination address into the URL field. The input has a fixed https:// prefix, so you only need to enter the rest (e.g. example.com) — the placeholder shows https://example.com. An invalid or empty URL blocks publishing.

Choose Dynamic or Static

Website URL is the one Quick Code type that supports both Dynamic (editable later, trackable, supports Conditional Redirection and UTM tracking) and Static (encodes the URL directly; can’t be edited or tracked after publishing) — every other Quick Code type on this page is Static only. Dynamic is selected and recommended by default.If you keep Dynamic, a Short URL section appears where you can set a slug (or a custom domain, if configured) — a slug is required before a Dynamic code can be published.
5

Publish

Click Publish in the top-right. A panel opens where you can confirm or rename the QR code (it defaults to the URL’s hostname, e.g. “scanova.io”), assign a folder or tags, and adjust QR design before confirming.

Creating one via the API

To create a Website URL QR code through the API rather than the UI, use category ID 1 (labeled Website URL, allowed_qr_types: "bt" — it accepts both "dy" and "st" for qr_type), with an info payload shaped like:
