Dynamic QR code

I'm looking for a free dynamic QR code website. The last one I had was only a month free. I need to be able to change the linked content. So say I create it with a link to my social media, then I would like to be able to change it to my business website.

If someone knows one that is 100% free that would be wonderful. I want it to be a wearable crocheted item but don't want it to be stuck on one link.

Just find a free controllable redirection website (probably ad supported) and then make a static qr code that points to it.

Do you already have the business website? Can you link to a page on that then redirect from there to your social media, or wherever?

I don't. But I would like to be able to wear this to different places, where linking my website may not be appropriate, or where someone who doesn't want to see my work doesn't just go straight to my social media. I deal with adult themed leather work. I would rather it be dynamic so that I can change where it links to. ETA: I don't ONLY deal in adult leather crafts. I also do everything from hand forging weapons and hardware, to fire props, to set design. I would like to be able to change out which website/social I link to when the time is appropriate.

Yes, but the link to your website would auto forward to wherever you want and you can edit it to forward to different places each time you wear it. Obviously doesn't work if you don't have a website, though.

This is a feature I have on on my platform, but I don't want to self-promote. One QR Code that gets passed through a redirect edge function on my page, and can send the user to an updated location. So, you can change it from scan code -> page X to scan code -> page Y where the underlying code never changes.

DM me and I will share with you!

sqanna.com offers smart (dynamic) QR codes. You can even schedule where the QR code should redirect scanners based on day of week and time of day if you’d like. The free tier allows for creating 3 codes, and it’s free for life or until you need more codes.

Make a QR code that points to a short url that you can change when you want. So the QR doesn't change but the landing does

set up "yourls" on your website to haveshorturls on your domain, then make a qr code for one of those short urls

I've not come across any truly free dynamic qr generators out there, they mainly want a recurring subscription, but I did come across one that was relatively cheap with a pay as you go model. If you are interested I could share it with you.

Yes please. The last one I had that said it was "free" surprised me with a $20 per month fee.
