QR Code Migration | Move Your Links to Lifetime Hosting
If you are currently paying $30/mo for a handful of QR codes, you are overpaying. Here is how to migrate without breaking your current marketing.
1. Audit Your Assets
Not every code needs a subscription. Inventory your QR codes and identify:
- Which codes are "static" (haven't changed in 6 months)?
- Which codes are "mission-critical" (if they break, you lose money)?
- Which codes are "temporary" (one-off event)?
2. The Migration Myth
Important: You cannot 'move' a previously printed QR code to a different service. The code itself is a fixed pattern.
Warning
If you have already printed codes from another provider, do not cancel that subscription until you have replaced those physical items with new ones. Breaking a live link is a reputation-killer.
3. Building the 'Lifetime' Parallel
As you produce new products, signage, or cards:
- Generate your new codes on a lifetime-ownership platform (like ours).
- Pay the one-time $29 fee per code.
- Phase out the old subscription-based physical items.
Honest Advice
For any new asset where you don't need tracking, migrate to a free static code. It saves you $29 and lasts forever. Only migrate to our paid assets when you actually need the professional redirect features.
Summary
Migration is a marathon, not a sprint. Stop creating new subscription debt today, and slowly phase out your legacy costs as you refresh your physical marketing assets.
Still Not Sure?
