PivotQR vs Reusable QR Codes

PivotQR turns your WordPress site’s domain into a redirect service. Generate short URLs like example.com/ab together with matching QR codes, then change where they redirect to at any time — without ever reprinting the QR. This is especially useful for printed flyers, packaging, business cards, signage, and seasonal campaigns where the printed QR cannot be reissued but the destination URL needs to change. Key features Short URLs at your domain root — e.g. example.com/ab. Adjustable slug length — 2 to 8 characters. Shorter slugs produce sparser QR codes; longer slugs give a larger address space. Edit slugs after creation — rename any short URL after it has been issued. QR downloads — PNG, JPG, and SVG output at any size from 100 to 1000 px. Embed code — copy-ready and HTML snippets for posts and product pages. Scheduled destinations — optional start/end dates and multiple schedules per link, with automatic switchover. Per-device redirects — send iPhone, Android, and PC visitors to different URLs (perfect for App Store / Google Play routing). Built-in analytics — daily breakdown of QR scans vs. direct short-URL clicks, rendered as a chart. Reserved paths — protect existing pages from being accidentally captured. Total click counter — see at a glance how many times each link has been hit. Privacy PivotQR stores data only in your own WordPress database. It does not phone home, it does not call third-party services, and it does not embed any tracking. Visitor IP addresses, user agents, and referrers from redirect hits are stored locally for analytics; uninstalling the plugin removes everything. Bundled libraries To work on shared hosting (no Composer or PHP image library required), PivotQR bundles the following permissively licensed libraries inside the plugin folder. Nothing is loaded from external CDNs. Chart.js (MIT) qrcode-generator (MIT) — by Kazuhiko Arase Font Awesome Free (CC BY 4.0 icons, MIT CSS, SIL OFL fonts)
