Which QR code type should you use?

For: EveryoneDifficulty: Easy⏱ 2 min

Pick the type by the result you want, not by the platform. Every type below opens on an ordinary phone camera — nobody needs an app from LinkVault.

Step by step

1. Start a conversation — WhatsApp (your number, with a message already typed), Messenger, Instagram DM, X message or Telegram.
2. Get followers — a profile code for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, YouTube or Snapchat, or a Social action page that shows all of them from one code.
3. Be contacted — Phone call, Text message, Email, or a Contact card that saves your details into their phone.
4. Send people to a page — Website, one of your LinkVault Bio pages, a Business card, or a Menu.
5. Run your business — Google Maps directions, Appointment booking, a Payment link, a Product or your Shop (Premium and Enterprise), or an Event that lands in their calendar.
6. Simple codes — plain text and WiFi network details are still here for every plan.

Tips

• If there is any chance the details will change — a new number, a new promotion — tick Let me change it after printing. A code without it carries its content inside the pattern and can never be changed.
• One code on a flyer that has to cover several channels? Use the social action page rather than printing five codes.
