Static QR Codes vs. Dynamic QR Codes
Static QR Code
Hardcodes the full destination string directly into the matrix pattern. If the website URL changes, has a typo, or the campaign expires, the printed QR code permanently breaks.
Dynamic QR Code (Mayy)
Encodes a short intermediary link. You can change the destination URL, password gate, or expiration rules at any time in your dashboard while the physical QR code continues working seamlessly.
