What happens to your QR codes when you stop paying

This is the question to ask before you print anything. The answer is different at TurtleQR than almost everywhere else, and it is the whole reason the company exists.

With most vendors, the code goes dark

At most QR services, a dynamic code is only alive while your subscription is. Stop paying, and every printed copy stops working, often returning an error page. The print you paid for becomes a dead end.

With TurtleQR, the code keeps redirecting

Your dynamic codes keep working after you cancel. They redirect to a fallback destination you choose, so a scan always lands somewhere useful. This holds on the free tier, not just paid plans.

Why this matters for print

A sticker on a product, a sign in a yard, or a code on packaging can outlive any subscription by years. If the code dies with the subscription, the printed asset becomes a liability. If it does not, the print keeps earning.

Set your fallback

Choose a fallback destination for your codes, a homepage or a landing page, so a lapse never means a dead scan. Then print with the confidence that the code will still resolve long after today.
