Most QR providers create multi-use QR codes.

Swapt is different. We champion one-time-use QR codes- codes that ensure only real customers get discounts.

Both connect your physical products to digital experiences — but choosing single-use Swapt QR codes affects how secure, traceable, and controlled that experience is.

Overview
One-time-use QR codes look and scan just like standard ones — but what happens after the scan is different.
Each code leads to a unique, trackable experience (like a form, claim, or verification) that can only be completed once. The code itself can be scanned multiple times, but the form on the landing page can only be submitted once.

For example, a one-time use campaign with 1,000 codes will create 1,000 codes that have differently-arranged dots:

Why brands choose them

Because each code is uniquely registered and managed through Swapt, brands gain full visibility into where and when codes are scanned — and peace of mind that every interaction is legitimate.

Overview
Standard QR codes are static and reusable. They can be scanned by anyone, any number of times, and they’ll always lead to the same digital destination — like a Vault, landing page, or product experience.

Key points

Standard QR codes are a simple, flexible option for brands that want an always-on digital touchpoint without additional verification layers.

Both options deliver great experiences, but one-time-use codes offer significantly more control.
They eliminate duplicate claims, prevent counterfeit participation, and create reliable, verified data — while driving consistent printing and quality assurance through Swapt’s platform.

If you’re running any experience where authenticity, redemptions, or data integrity matter, one-time-use codes are the right choice.
