Can one QR code link to multiple URLs?

Yes, in two different ways, and it matters which one you want. A Smart URL QR code holds several destinations but sends each scanner to exactly one of them, chosen by a rule: their country, the time of day, their browser language, how many people scanned before them, or whether they are inside a GPS radius. If you want the scanner to see all the links at once and pick for themselves, that is a Link Page, which QRKIT also builds.

What happens when more than one rule could match?

The first match wins. Rules are checked top to bottom in the order you set in the editor, and the scanner goes to the first rule that fits. You can move rules up and down at any time, so put the most specific rule first: a city rule above the rule for its country, or a lunch window above a rule that covers the whole day.

What happens if no rule matches?

The scanner goes to the default URL. Every Smart URL needs one, and the editor will not let you generate the code without it. That is also where a scan lands when the scanner's country cannot be read or they decline to share their GPS location, so choose a default that works for anyone.

Can I combine a country rule and a time rule in one code?

Not in one code. A Smart URL uses one rule type at a time: all location rules, or all time rules, or all language rules, and so on. Switching the type clears the rules you added under the old one. If you need country and time together, create two dynamic codes, or make the country rule point to a second Smart URL that handles the time of day.

Which time zone do time rules use?

The one you pick in the editor, not the scanner's. A time rule that says weekdays 07:00 to 11:00 is read in that zone wherever the scan happens, which is what you want for a physical location. Set the zone to where the code is displayed. An end time earlier than the start wraps past midnight, so 22:00 to 02:00 covers late evening into the next day.

Does location routing ask the scanner for GPS permission?

Country and city rules do not. They read the country the scan arrives from, the way any website sees where a visitor is, so the redirect is instant and nothing is asked of the scanner. Only geofencing rules use GPS, because a radius of 50 metres to 50 kilometres needs a real position. Those scanners see a one-tap location prompt first, and if they decline or the fix times out they go to the default URL.

Can I change the rules after the code is printed?

Yes. A Smart URL is a dynamic QR code, so the printed pattern only points at QRKIT and the rules live on the server. Add a rule, change a destination, reorder the list or swap the default URL, and the next scan of every printed code follows the new rules. You never reprint for a change of destination.

Which rules are free, and how many can I add?

Time and language rules are free, with one rule per code. Starter adds location and scan-count rules and serves up to five rules per code. Plus serves up to twenty rules and adds a Destinations card in analytics that shows which rule fired for each scan. Geofencing rules are on Pro and above. You can build any rule set on any plan, and a printed code always resolves: rules your plan does not cover simply send the scanner to the default URL until you upgrade.

Is a Smart URL QR code static or dynamic?

Always dynamic. The code has to reach a server that can look at the scan and pick a destination, so the rules cannot be baked into a static pattern. That also means the free plan's dynamic limits apply: one dynamic code and 100 scans a month, a hard stop until the counter resets. Every paid plan removes the scan cap.

Multi-URL QR Code: One Code, a Different Link for Every Scan

Add destinations with a rule each: country, time, language, scan count or GPS radius. First match wins, the default URL catches the rest.

A Smart URL is one dynamic QR code with an ordered list of destinations. Each rule sends a scanner somewhere different based on their country, the time of day, their browser language, how many scans came before, or whether they are inside a GPS radius. Rules are checked top to bottom, the first match wins, and a default URL catches everyone else. Time and language rules are free.

How to Make a Multi-URL QR Code in 3 Steps

Pick How to Route, Set the Default

Choose one rule type for the code: Location, Number of scans, Time, Language or Geo-Fencing. Then enter the default URL. Every scan that matches no rule lands there, so it is required before the code can be generated.

Add Rules in Order

Each rule is a condition and a destination. Rules are checked top to bottom and the first match wins, so move the most specific one to the top: a city above its country, a lunch window above a rule that covers the whole day.

Style, Download, Print Once

Add your logo and colours, download the PNG with a free account (SVG and PDF come with any paid plan) and print it. The rules live on the server, so you can change any destination later and every printed code follows.

Five ways to route a scan

Send Each Scanner to the Right Link

A Smart URL uses one rule type per code and as many rules of that type as your plan serves. Each card shows the plan the rule type starts on; the code itself can be built on any plan.

From Starter

Location

Pick one or more countries, and optionally a city. A scan from Germany opens the German store, a scan from anywhere else opens the default. The country is read from where the scan arrives, so nothing is asked of the scanner.

From Starter

Number of scans

Change the link after a number of scans. Scans 1 to 100 open the early-bird offer, 101 to 500 the standard page, and every scan after that the default. Leave the end open for a rule that never runs out.

From Free

Time

Pick weekdays and a start and end time, read in the time zone you choose. Weekdays 07:00 to 11:00 opens the breakfast page; an end time before the start wraps past midnight for late-night hours.

From Free

Language

Route by the scanner's browser language. A phone set to Portuguese opens the Portuguese instructions, one set to Japanese the Japanese page, and every other language the default URL.

From Pro

Geo-Fencing

A GPS centre and a radius from 50 metres to 50 kilometres. Scanners inside the circle go to the on-site page; they see a one-tap location prompt first, and if they decline they get the default URL.

What the scanner sees

Nothing but the destination. Location, scan-count, time and language rules resolve on the server before the redirect, so the scanner opens the page with no interstitial and no permission prompt. Only Geo-Fencing asks for their location first.

Built for print

Your Printed Code Never Breaks

A multi-URL code usually ends up on packaging, signage or a flyer you cannot recall. These are the rules QRKIT follows so that what you printed keeps working.

The Default URL Always Resolves

A scan that matches no rule, arrives from an unreadable country, or declines the GPS prompt goes to the default URL. There is no dead end and no error page for the scanner.

Build Any Rule Set on Any Plan

The editor never refuses a rule. If your plan does not cover a rule type or a rule count yet, the editor marks it, the dashboard warns you, and scanners get the default URL until you upgrade. Nothing you printed stops resolving.

Change Destinations After Printing

Add a country, extend a scan range, move a rule up, swap the default. The next scan of every printed code follows the new list. The pattern on paper never has to change.

One Rule Type per Code

A code routes by location, or by time, or by language, not all three at once. That keeps the list readable and the outcome predictable. Switching the type clears the rules, and the editor asks before it does.

Country Without GPS, Radius With It

Country and city come from where the scan arrives, the same signal every website sees, with no prompt. A GPS radius needs a real position, so Geo-Fencing asks once and falls back to the default if the answer is no.

Only Safe Destinations Are Stored

Every destination must be an http or https address. Anything else is dropped before it is saved, so a rule can only ever send a scanner to a web page.

Examples

What People Print a Multi-URL QR Code For

Location rule

One package, one code, every market

Print one QR code on packaging that ships worldwide. Scans from each country open that country's product page, and the default URL is the global page.

Time rule

Breakfast, lunch and dinner from one sign

A shop window code opens the breakfast page until 11:00, the lunch page until 15:00 and the evening page after that, all from one printed sticker.

Number of scans rule

The first 100 scans get the offer

Launch a flyer with an early-bird offer for the first 100 people who scan. Scan 101 onwards lands on the regular page, no reprint and no expiry date to babysit.

Language rule

Instructions in the reader's language

A single code on a device or a leaflet opens the manual in the scanner's own language, with English as the default for everyone else.

Geo-Fencing rule

Check in only when you are actually there

A code on an event banner opens the check-in page for scanners inside a 200 m radius of the venue, and the event information page for anyone scanning a photo of it from home.

Time rule

A campaign that changes destination on schedule

Point a code at the pre-order page on weekdays and the live-stream page on the weekend, and let the rule do the switching instead of editing the link by hand.

Two kinds of multi-link code

Smart URL or Link Page?

“Multi-URL QR code” means two different products, and most generators blur them. QRKIT builds both, so pick by what the scanner should experience.

	Smart URL (this page)	Link Page
What the scanner sees	One destination, opened straight away	A page with all your links, buttons and embeds
Who chooses the link	Your rules: country, time, language, scan count, GPS	The scanner, by tapping
Typical use	Packaging, signage and campaigns that need the right page per market or moment	Bios, business cards and event pages that need every link in one place
Free plan	Time and language rules, 1 rule per code	Build and publish a page
