Vouchers, invitations and giveaways: a code that stops after a set number of scans.
For: Premium and EnterpriseDifficulty: Medium⏱ 2 min
Step by step
- Open the code and choose Edit.
- Under Scan limit, set Each scan opens to One-time, or choose Stop after this many scans and enter the number.
- Add a Message once the limit is reached — “This voucher has been claimed” — if you like.
- Save.
Tips
- Link previews (a code pasted into WhatsApp) never use up a scan, and opening it twice in a row counts once — so a camera app that opens the link twice does not waste it.
- The person who claimed the last scan can still reopen it for a few seconds; everyone after sees your message, or your paused address if you set one.
- Scan limits are included on Premium and Enterprise.
