What's the difference between a static QR code and a dynamic QR code and which do I have?

If you're the Swell Next or Swell Enterprise license, you have both! If you're on the build your own license, it's likely you have static QR codes for each of your events.

Static QR Codes (Click here to learn how to edit your event-level QR codes)

For Swell, static QR codes are generated for each of your events. You can change the color, the shape of the dots, or add your logo, but the bones of the code (what's behind it) won't change.

For example, this Donation Page QR code in the example below can never be made to go to another page. It will only go to the donation page for the original event. It can never be redirected to another site or page.

Use your static QR codes on event-specific materials like event programs, table cards, social media posts, napkins, or presentation slides.

Dynamic QR Codes (Click here to learn how to edit your dynamic QR code)

These QR codes aren't for specific Swell events, but rather for ALL of your Swell events. You choose where you want them to go by selecting an event from the drop-down menu. 

Use your dynamic QR code on event-specific materials or more permanent items such as business cards, stationery, and yard signs.
