The Key Principle: Every Link Should Be a SmartLink

Instead of printing static QR codes that go to a fixed website, encourage your customers to use SmartLinks for every QR code — enabling dynamic redirects, analytics, and future-proof flexibility.

Enhanced Capabilities

Go beyond standard QR codes with custom domains and NFC integration

Custom Domains

Your customers can use their own domains for QR codes, maintaining brand consistency and trust.

  • Use customer's own domain (e.g., links.brand.com)
  • Very short URLs for cleaner QR codes
  • Full SSL/HTTPS support
  • White-label options available

NFC & RFID Integration

SmartLinks also supports NFC and RFID for customers who need tap-based interactions or supply chain tracking.

  • Same platform, same management
  • Combine QR and NFC on same product
  • Hardware chip ID authentication
  • RFID for bulk scanning
