What's included
Password gate
Require a password before the scan resolves. Show a clean, branded gate page; reject wrong passwords with rate-limited retries. Perfect for paid events, members-only content, and confidential deliveries.
Expiry dates
Set a future date and time after which the QR stops working. Scans after expiry see a branded “this offer has ended” page instead of the destination — no dead links, no half-broken campaigns.
One-time links
Issue a QR that resolves exactly once and then expires. Ideal for single-use download links, unique invites, and secure drops where a second scan would be a red flag.
Max-scan caps
Cap a code at 100 scans, 1,000 scans, or any number you want. After the cap, scans route to a fallback page. Useful for limited promos, gated downloads, and exclusive drops.
Branded gate pages
The password, expired, and max-reached pages all inherit your workspace branding. No ScanForge logos in front of your customers.
Revoke anytime
Kill a code instantly. Revoked codes resolve to a “this link is no longer active” page. Never worry about a printed QR outliving its usefulness.
Common questions
- Can I put a password on a QR code?
- Yes. Any dynamic QR code can be password-protected. Scanners see a branded gate page asking for the password before the code resolves to its destination. Wrong passwords are rate-limited to prevent brute-force attempts, and every attempt is logged in the audit log.
- Can QR codes expire?
- Yes. Set a future expiry date and time on any dynamic QR code. After expiry, scans resolve to a branded “this offer has ended” page instead of the original destination. You can also expire after a specific number of scans — useful for limited-quantity promos.
- Can I make a one-time QR link?
- Yes. One-time links resolve exactly once, then expire. The second scanner sees a “this link has already been used” page. Ideal for unique invites, single-use downloads, and secure drops.
- Can I limit how many times a QR code is scanned?
- Yes. Set a max-scan cap — the QR works for the first N scans, then routes to a fallback page. Great for limited offers, exclusive drops, and gated content where exclusivity is part of the pitch.
- Can I revoke a QR code after printing?
- Yes. Revoke a code instantly from the dashboard. Revoked codes resolve to a “no longer active” page — so a sticker left on a lamppost can't drive traffic to a stale page forever.
