Introduction: Why Does the QR Code Type Matter?
In modern commerce, a QR code is no longer just a black-and-white square; it is the primary gateway bridging physical items to your digital brand experience.
The most common issue business owners face is choosing the wrong QR type — such as using a fixed static link for monthly promotional posters or manual contact cards.
1. Website & URL QR Codes
The most widely used type. Directs users straight to any webpage, landing page, or video.
On Iltiqa, we recommend generating URL codes as 'Dynamic QR Codes'. This allows you to change the underlying target link at any time without reprinting physical packaging.
2. Digital Business Card (vCard QR)
Instead of paper business cards that get lost, a vCard QR code instantly shares your name, company title, direct phone, email, and social links with a single scan.
Users can tap 'Save to Contacts' directly without typing numbers manually.
3. Wi-Fi QR Code
An essential solution for cafes, restaurants, hotels, and co-working spaces. Allows visitors to connect to Wi-Fi instantly without asking staff for passwords.
