Info variations by QR code
Scenario
You want to share one landing page through several QR codes, for example for a marketing campaign.
The page should remain the same, but a small part of the content has to change depending on the QR code scanned, so that you can display a different message without creating multiple pages.
Solution
Create multiple QR-Codes, each linked to the same landing page.
For each QR-Code, enable the option Add query parameter in the settings: this will append the QR-Code Key to the redirect URL.
On the landing page, configure the content so that it changes depending on the Key value received in the query string.
Click on the QR-Codes menu voice of the plugin
start of procedure »
Click the button to open a new empty QR-Code
Insert the fields:
- Description: enter an explanatory/mnemonic name for the QR-Code
- Key: digit a sequence of characters
- Redirect URL: select or write the URL of the landing page
- Activate the option Add query parameter
Click the button to save the QR-Code in the database
« end of procedure
Repeat this procedure for every QR-Code you need.
On the landing page
At the end of the QR-Codes creation process, make sure to handle the landing page.
The Key of the scanned QR-Code is passed in the query string under the parameter sos-dqc-key.
You have to retrieve this parameter and decide what to do depending on its value, for example showing a specific piece of information or highlighting a different section.
If you’re not into coding, this can be achieved by using WordPress plugins that show or hide blocks based on query string parameters.
