You tell Menu Link the web address you want people to visit. We make a QR image that points to a short Menu Link address (like https://menu-li.ink/r/XXXXX). When someone scans it, we count the scan and then send them to your web address.
That lets you see how many times a code was scanned while still sending people to your page.
Use the Destination URL field in the editor — that is the website people will go to after scanning.
When you edit a code, the editor shows this destination so you can change it anytime.
The short address (the one that looks like /r/XXXXX) is used only inside the QR code so we can count scans. People who scan still end up at the destination URL you entered.
SVG is best if you want the image to stay sharp at any size (web or print). PNG is a regular image file that works everywhere — pick PNG if you need a specific pixel size or your system does not accept SVG.
For printing, choose a large PNG or use the SVG in a design program for best results.
Choose vCard if you want the QR code to add a contact to someone's phone. We store the contact info and the scanner can download it as a contact file. Choose URL when you want the QR to open a website.
No. We only record the fact that a code was scanned and when it happened. We do not collect names, device IDs, or locations by default.
If you need us to fix old codes, update destinations in bulk, or walk you through anything, tell us and we'll help.
