Note: Dynamic QR Codes created on the free trial will automatically be disabled when the free trial period ends. You can reactivate them by upgrading to a paid plan.
While Uniqode doesn't offer a direct "disable" function, here are some alternative ways to manage the QR Codes you no longer need:
1. Delete the QR Code
You can delete a QR Code if you no longer wish to use it. Doing this will remove the QR Code from the Active list. If you delete a QR Code and a user scans it, they will see an error.
Deleted codes are placed in "Trash and you can easily restore them from here.
Caution: Please note that deleting a QR Code will also remove any analytics associated with it.
We recommend this option only if you're sure you won't use the QR Code again.
2. Create a custom landing page
You can create a custom landing page to inform the user that the QR Code is no longer valid.
Redirect the user to this page by changing the target URL of the QR Code.
You can create a landing page using the Landing Page option in the first step of QR Code creation.
3. Define a schedule for your QR Code campaign
You can define a validity period for your QR Code with start and end dates. To do this:
You can set the Start and End dates in the Customization step of QR Code creation under ‘Advanced Settings’.
Follow these steps:
Create QR Code > Step 2: Customization > Advanced Settings > Start Date & End Date
The QR Code will be automatically disabled after the End date.
4. Use Uniqode’s Smart Rules QR Codes
With Smart Rules QR Code, you can disable a QR Code based on date, time, number of scans, and other factors and redirect users to a different URL.
For instance, you can create a rule that deactivates a QR Code after June 4, 2024. For this, you must set up the condition ‘if Date is June 4, 2024’ and redirect the users to a different URL – a custom landing page that displays the message “This QR Code is no longer valid”.
You can choose the Smart Rules QR Code option in the first step of QR Code creation.
5. Categorize them under a label
Categorize unwanted QR Codes for easy identification with custom labels.
You can create labels like "Disabled," "Deactivated," or "Archived" to group your unwanted codes.
Follow these steps to create a label or add a QR Code to an existing label:
Go to QR Codes on the left panel on your dashboard.
Click the kebab menu (⋮) next to the desired QR Code.
Choose an existing label or create a new one using +Create New Label.
Click Apply to save the changes.
