WordPress QR Code Generator: Create Static and Dynamic QR Codes for Your Website

Why Use a QR Code Plugin on WordPress?

Most people make QR codes on an outside website, download the image, and upload it. This works for one or two codes. But what if you have 200 products? Or you change a link after printing 1,000 flyers?

A QR code plugin solves both problems. It makes QR codes for you, keeps them inside your site, and lets you manage everything from one dashboard.

What Is WordPress QR Code Generator?

It is a WordPress plugin that creates QR codes for your pages, posts, WooCommerce products, and custom links. The free version is called QR Code Composer and you can find it on WordPress.org. The Pro version adds many more tools for business use.

You install it, turn it on, and your QR codes start showing on your content. No coding, no outside tools.

Free Version: A Good Start

The free version is enough for many websites:

• Automatic QR code for every page, post, and product
• QR code shows after your content
• Works with custom post types
• Shortcode and Gutenberg block to place a QR code anywhere
• Easy settings page

Pro Version: Built for Real Business Use

1. Dynamic QR Codes (Change the Link Anytime)

This is the biggest feature. A normal QR code has the link inside it. If the link changes, the printed QR code is useless.

A dynamic QR code points to a short link on your site. You can change the final destination any time, and the printed code keeps working. This is perfect for posters, packaging, menus, and brochures.

With dynamic QR codes you can also:

• Set a start date and an expiry date for each link
• Set a maximum number of scans
• Choose a fallback page for invalid, inactive, expired, or finished links
• Turn on High-Traffic Mode to keep your site fast when many people scan

2. Scan Analytics

See what happens after you share a QR code. The built-in dashboard shows:

• Daily scans in a simple chart
• Your top-performing links
• Device type, city, country, and referrer of each scan

Now you know which flyer, product, or campaign really brings people in.

3. Many QR Code Types

Create the type you need:

• vCard QR code: Share contact details. Scan and save.
• WhatsApp QR code: Start a chat in one scan.
• WiFi QR code: Let guests join your WiFi without typing a password.
• Google Maps QR code: Send people to your shop location.
• Event QR code: Add an event to a phone calendar.
• Email and text QR codes

You can even make bulk vCard QR codes from a post type, like a “Team” or “Developers” section.

4. Beautiful, Custom Design

Your QR code does not need to look boring and black. You can change:

• Body shapes: square, dot, round, extra-round
• Eye frame and eye ball styles
• Gradient colors
• Your own logo in the center
• Error correction level

Download your code as PNG, JPEG, or SVG, in high resolution, ready for print.

5. WooCommerce Order QR Codes

For online stores, this is very useful:

• Add a QR code to the order email so you can open the order fast
• Make QR codes from the order number or order details
• Use the order scanner and frontend order manager to check and manage orders

6. Works With Your Favorite Tools

• Gutenberg: A native QR code block for both static and dynamic codes
• Elementor: Build QR codes with Elementor widgets
• Widgets and shortcodes: Use the shortcode generator to create codes with your own design
• BuddyPress: QR codes for member profiles
• Dokan: QR codes for vendors
• bbPress and user profiles: QR codes for forum users and WordPress users

Who Is This Plugin For?

• Online store owners: Product QR codes, order QR codes, and fast order checking.
• Local businesses: WiFi, WhatsApp, maps, and menu QR codes.
• Event organizers: Event QR codes and trackable links.
• Agencies and freelancers: Build QR features for clients without extra tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a free version?
Yes. QR Code Composer is free on WordPress.org and creates automatic QR codes for pages, posts, and products.

What is the difference between static and dynamic QR codes?
A static QR code has the link built in, so it can never change. A dynamic QR code goes through a short link on your site, so you can change the destination later and see scan data.

Does it work with WooCommerce and Elementor?
Yes. It supports WooCommerce products and orders, and Elementor, Gutenberg, widgets, and shortcodes.

Can I add my logo to the QR code?
Yes. You can put your logo in the middle and change colors, shapes, and eye styles.

Will it slow down my site?
No. The plugin is light, and High-Traffic Mode lets you turn off detailed logging when you get a lot of scans.
