About Scan Limits

Scan limits give you precise control over how many times a QR code can be redeemed. Set a limit of 1 for a single-use voucher, 50 for a small batch of contest entries, or any custom number that matches the campaign you are running. Once the threshold is reached, Quality QR stops redirecting to the destination and serves a configurable fallback page instead, so users see a clean expired state rather than a broken experience. You can combine scan limits with time-based expiration to deactivate the code as soon as either condition is met, which is useful for flash promotions where you want to cap both volume and duration at the same time. The dashboard shows a live counter so you always know how close you are to the limit, and you can raise it, remove it, or reset it at any moment. Scan limits are a Pro feature and pair naturally with single-use vouchers, exclusive event passes, controlled document downloads, and limited-edition product launches.

How It Works

1

Set your limit

Choose from presets (1, 10, 50, 100) or enter a custom number. Single-use codes work perfectly for unique vouchers.

2

Configure the action

Decide what happens when the limit is reached: disable the code, redirect to a different URL, or show a custom message.

3

Track in real-time

Monitor scan progress with live counters and get notified as you approach the limit. Adjust settings anytime.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I create a single-use QR code?
Yes. Set a scan limit of 1 to create a one-time-use QR code. After the limit is reached, scanners see a configurable expired page. This is useful for event tickets, exclusive offers, or limited promotions.
What happens when a scan limit is reached?
When the scan limit is reached, the QR code stops redirecting to the destination. Scanners see a clean expired page. You can increase the limit or remove it from your dashboard at any time.
Can I combine scan limits with time expiration?
Yes. Set both a scan limit and a time-based expiration on the same QR code. The code deactivates when either condition is met — whichever comes first.
