What is Conditional Redirection in a Website URL QR Code?

  • Updated

Use this guide to know about Conditional Redirection in a Website URL QR Code created using Scanova QR Code Generator. 

When scanned, a Website URL QR Code redirects the end-users to the specified URL/link. This link could be for a website/webpage, document, social media profile, video, file, or any other content hosted online.

However, the recent feature of Conditional Redirection helps the Scanova Account users to redirect the end-users who are scanning the QR Code to a specific web URL with respect to country, device, or OS. Note that this feature is only available to Pro and Enterprise Users only.

Conditional Redirection helps to redirect end-users to specific URLs based on the following conditions:  

  • Country of the end-user - The user will be redirected to a specific URL based on his country
  • Device type (mobile, tablet, etc.) - The user will be redirected to a specific URL based on the type of device used to scan the QR Code
  • The operating system of the scanning device (Android, iOS, etc.) - The user will be redirected to a specific URL based on the operating system of the scanning device

Please note that upto 50 conditions can be implemented and a combination of any 2 types of conditions is not available.

Here's how you can implement this feature:

  • Redirection by Conditions  i.e.  Country,  Device,  and  Operating  System
    • Login to your Scanova Generator Account
    • Click on Create QR Code
    • Click on Website URL QR Code or you can search in the quick search bar
    • On the subsequent screen, fill in a web URL in the provided space that you wish to display upon scanning. Note that this URL is a Fallback URL which means it will be displayed to the users who will not be falling into the conditions setfallback_url.png
