QR Generator Risks | Protecting Links from Hidden Fees
Deal marketplaces are great for software trials, but when it comes to permanent infrastructure, the economic model is fundamentally broken.
1. The Commission Conflict
When you buy a "Lifetime Deal" (LTD) on a marketplace, the platform often takes 50-70% of the revenue. The product owner — the person actually paying for the servers to host your QR codes — only receives a fraction of that one-time payment.
Warning
2. Ownership vs. Middlemen
A marketplace deal involves three parties: You, the Marketplace, and the Vendor.
- If the Vendor goes bust because their margins were too low, your codes die.
- If the Marketplace changes its terms or the vendor leaves the platform, support becomes a nightmare.
3. Sustainability is Direct
At Lifetime QR Codes, we don't sell through marketplaces. We sell direct. This isn't just about profit; it's about liability management.
By keeping 100% of the asset fee, we can mathematically guarantee the hosting fund for every code. We build the liability into our books as a permanent asset for you and a permanent responsibility for us.
Subscription Model
Marketplace support is often separated by layers of ticketing and platform 'credits'.
Lifetime Ownership
You have a direct line to the people who own the infrastructure. No middlemen, no commission-driven support.
Summary
Marketplace deals are driven by spikes and campaigns. Infrastructure needs to be driven by consistency and accountability. If your QR codes are going on physical products, signage, or critical marketing, buy directly from the people who owe you the service.
