About this plugin
Same Square creates QR codes that can keep working after the destination changes. Each code points to a permanent URL on your WordPress site, so you can update the link later without replacing printed signs, menus, cards, or labels.
Everything runs on your WordPress site. The plugin does not send QR content or scan data to an outside service.
Features
- Create unlimited QR codes with your own destination URLs.
- Change a destination without changing the printed QR code.
- Download print-ready PNG or scalable SVG files.
- Design printable QR cards with reusable layouts, custom text, a logo, colors, paper sizes, and portrait or landscape orientation.
- Choose foreground and background colors.
- Schedule when a code starts working or expires.
- View all-time, today, 7-day, and 30-day scan metrics, a daily trend, last scan date, and performance for each QR code.
- Track aggregate scans without storing IP addresses, device details, user agents, referrers, or individual visit records.
- Place codes with the Same Square block or [same_square_qr] shortcode.
- Use friendly scan URLs with pretty permalinks and an automatic query-string fallback.
Useful for
Restaurant menus, review links, event information, product instructions, property listings, downloadable files, payment pages, contact pages, and marketing materials.
Privacy
Same Square stores one aggregate count per QR code per day. It does not store an IP address, browser, device, referrer, location, or a record for each visitor. A visitor’s browser still connects to your WordPress site and then to the destination you configure; those systems may have their own logging and privacy policies.
Important
Dynamic QR codes depend on your WordPress site and domain remaining available. If the site, plugin, or domain stops working, its scan URLs stop redirecting. Test every printed code with a phone before distributing it, and keep a backup of your site.
