A restaurant owner puts a QR code on every table. Customers scan it expecting a menu - but it opens the owner's website. A week later, they change it to WhatsApp for direct orders. Next month, it's a phone number for reservations. Same QR code. No reprinting. This is the power of the Website URL QR code.
It's our most versatile QR type because it's not just for websites. It handles six different link types - all from one dropdown.
Switch between website, phone, email, SMS, WhatsApp, or Telegram
| Link Type | What Happens When Scanned | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Website | Opens any webpage | Marketing, product pages, portfolios |
| Phone | Opens dialer ready to call | Support hotlines, sales calls |
| Opens email app with address filled | Contact forms, inquiries | |
| SMS | Opens messaging ready to send | Quick feedback, opt-ins |
| Opens WhatsApp chat | Customer support, orders | |
| Telegram | Opens Telegram chat/channel | Communities, announcements |
When you choose Website, you get the most features. Just paste your URL and optionally enable:
| Option | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Smart App Opening | Opens YouTube, Instagram, Spotify etc. in native apps instead of browser |
| Preview Page | Shows destination URL before redirecting - builds trust |

Tip
You can switch between link types anytime without changing the QR code. Start with a website, switch to WhatsApp for a campaign, then back to website - same printed QR code works throughout.
