9 Best Uses for B2B QR Codes

2 Types of QR Codes

According to QRCode Tiger, a Quick Response (QR) code is a 2D barcode that contains any kind of information that can redirect scanners to online information. These codes are accessed using a smartphone device.”

Did you know there are two types of QR codes—static and dynamic. Static codes are hard coded and usually link to specific information; oh, and the link doesn’t change.
