Print once, change the destination as often as you like

Every ShortPen QR code that points to a web page is dynamic. The code stays the same on paper and the page behind it changes when you edit it in ShortPen.

Swap a seasonal offer for the next one without a reprint

Fix a broken link on 10,000 printed flyers in one edit

Keep the full scan history when the destination changes

Know which placement got scanned

Scans sit next to clicks in the same dashboard, so a poster and a newsletter are measured on the same screen.

Total and unique scans over any date range

Country, device, browser, platform and language

UTM breakdowns for codes that carry campaign tags

A shareable report link for clients, no login needed

See every scan, and the sales that follow

A scan tells you someone picked up the flyer. A conversion tells you whether it paid for itself. Connect your site once, pick the actions that count, and ShortPen credits each one to the code that was scanned.

Conversions (signups, purchases, downloads, etc.) credited to every code

Easy to set up on any site, with a native Shopify app

Real-time event log to check it's firing before the print run

Questions before you print

If something's stopping you from trying ShortPen, the answer is probably here.

What's the difference between a static and a dynamic QR code?

A static code has the destination built into the pattern, so it can't be changed or tracked. A dynamic code points to a short link, so you can change the destination and count every scan. ShortPen codes that open a web page or file are dynamic.

Do ShortPen QR codes expire?

Can I change where a printed code goes?

How many QR codes can I make for free?

What types of QR code can I create?

Can I track WiFi codes?

What file format should I use for print?

Will a logo stop my code from scanning?

What does ShortPen record when someone scans?

How do I track sales from a QR code?

Can I move my codes from Bitly or another platform?
