The Core Problem

Generic Links Kill Trust

Users hesitate to scan QR codes that point to unknown URLs. A branded domain removes that friction instantly.

Comparison: Generic short link QR code vs custom domain branded QR code showing trust difference

Why It Matters

Why Businesses Choose Custom Domain QR Codes

Build Trust & Prevent Phishing

When users see qr.yourbrand.com before scanning, they know it is legitimate. Generic short links like bit.ly/3xK9f trigger phishing anxiety.

Higher Scan-Through Rates

Branded domains reduce user hesitation. When the destination is clearly identifiable, people are more likely to complete the scan — especially in high-trust contexts like healthcare and finance.

Vendor-Lock Proof

You own the domain. If you ever switch platforms, your QR codes stay alive — just repoint the DNS record. With vendor domains, a platform switch means reprinting every code.

60-Second Setup

Connect Your Domain in 3 Steps

No IT team, no server configuration, no certificate management.

1

Enter Your Subdomain

Type your desired subdomain (e.g., qr.yourbrand.com) in the QRTRAC dashboard. The system generates the required DNS record automatically.

2

Add One CNAME Record

Copy the CNAME value and paste it into your DNS provider (Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Namecheap, Route 53 — we support them all). One field, one paste.

3

Auto-Verified + SSL Provisioned

QRTRAC detects your DNS change, verifies the domain, and provisions a free SSL certificate (Let's Encrypt) automatically. You are live in under 30 minutes.

Frequently Asked

Custom Domain QR Code FAQ

How does a custom domain QR code work?
A custom domain QR code routes scans through your branded subdomain (e.g., qr.yourbrand.com) instead of a generic short URL. You add one CNAME DNS record, QRTRAC provisions SSL automatically, and every scan hits your domain — building trust with every interaction.
How long does setup take?
Under 60 seconds. Enter your subdomain, add one CNAME record, and QRTRAC verifies + provisions SSL automatically. DNS propagation completes within 30 minutes.
Do I need technical knowledge?
No. It is a single copy-paste DNS record. QRTRAC provides step-by-step instructions with screenshots for every major DNS provider (Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Namecheap, Route 53).
Is SSL included?
Yes. Free SSL via Let's Encrypt is auto-provisioned and auto-renewed for every custom domain. All QR code URLs load over HTTPS.
Can I use multiple custom domains?
Yes. Business Plus includes 1, Legendary includes 2, Agency includes 3, Enterprise is unlimited. Add-on domains cost $10/mo or $100/yr each.
What happens if I change my domain?
Existing QR codes keep working through the old domain as long as the DNS record stays active. New codes use the updated domain. You can run multiple domains simultaneously.
Do custom domains improve scan rates?
Yes. Branded URLs are trusted and recognizable, reducing scan hesitation. Custom domains eliminate the phishing concerns associated with generic short links.
Which plans include custom domains?
Available on all plans as a $10/mo add-on. Business Plus and above include at least one domain free. Kickoff and Starter can add one anytime.
