A QR code generator that is not priced in dollars
Generate a dynamic QR code you can track and repoint, from one credit. No dollar card, no monthly plan, and no limit on where you print it.
Short answer
ZELF charges 1 credit per dynamic QR code, R0.71 to R1 bought in rands, with scan tracking and repointing included and no monthly plan. Dollar-priced generators usually put dynamic codes behind a subscription: QR Code Generator Pro starts at US$9.99 a month billed annually for 2 dynamic codes.
Most QR generators force a monthly subscription the moment you want to track scans or edit the destination, and many bill in dollars. For a South African business paying in rands, that is friction before the first code is even printed.
ZELF charges one credit per code, bought in rands, and the code is dynamic and tracked from the start. Buy a pack, make codes as client jobs come in, and the credits never expire.
How to make a dynamic QR code paid in rands
- 1 Buy a credit pack in rands through Yoco. A code costs one credit; add-ons are one credit each.
- 2 Create a code and choose what it opens: a link, a PDF, a WhatsApp chat, a contact card or your ZELF page.
- 3 Download the PNG at print resolution and place it on the menu, flyer, card or packaging.
- 4 Open the scan stats any time to see the day, device and referrer for every scan, and export the history to CSV.
