What does white-label actually change about the QR code?

The domain in the redirect, and nothing else. The printed pattern still encodes a short URL, the scan still passes through a redirect, and analytics still record the same fields. What changes is the hostname a scanner sees in the address bar and in any link preview. The QR symbology, error correction and scan behaviour are identical, because a QR code has no concept of branding. It encodes text, and the text now starts with your hostname.

Do I need to buy a new domain?

No. A subdomain of a domain you already own is the better option in most cases. links.agency.com or go.brand.com costs nothing extra and inherits the reputation of the parent domain, which matters because unfamiliar domains are what phishing filters and cautious users treat with suspicion. A dedicated short domain is worth buying when the URL appears in print at small sizes, where every character costs module density.

What DNS records do I need?

Two. A TXT record proves you control the domain, and EZQR issues a unique value for each domain you add. A CNAME then points the subdomain at EZQR so scans resolve. Both are added at your DNS provider, whether that is Cloudflare, Route 53, Namecheap or GoDaddy. Verification runs after the records resolve, and the domain stays inactive until it passes.

Which plan includes white-labeling?

Max, at $20/month billed monthly. It covers the custom redirect domain alongside unlimited dynamic codes, REST API access, bulk import, five team members with roles, an audit log and weekly reports. There is no annual-only requirement and no sales call.

What happens to white-labeled codes if I cancel?

They stop redirecting, exactly as any dynamic code does. This is worth being blunt about, because a custom domain creates a false sense of independence. The domain is yours, but redirect resolution still runs through EZQR. Cancel and the codes break even though the domain still points at us. Printed material with a long life should either stay on a subscription or use static codes, which depend on no vendor at all.

Can each client have their own domain?

Yes, and on client work it is usually the right structure. Add each verified domain separately and choose the domain when creating a code. Per-client domains keep reputation isolated, make handover clean if a client leaves, and mean a deliverability or blocklist problem on one account never touches the others.

Does a custom domain improve scan rates?

It removes a known source of hesitation rather than adding a boost. Scanners increasingly check the URL preview before tapping, and an unrecognised shortener is what a phishing attempt looks like. Replacing it with a domain matching the brand on the printed piece removes that mismatch. Treat it as eliminating friction, not as a lift you can forecast.

White-Label QR Code

White-Label QR Codes — Custom Redirect Domain for Agencies

Name: EZQR White-Label QR Codes
Brand: EZQR
Price: 20 USD
Availability: InStock

Dynamic codes redirect through a domain. White-label makes that domain yours or your client’s, so the scan path reads links.agency.com instead of a QR vendor nobody recognises.

About White-Label QR Codes

White-label QR codes solve one specific problem: the domain a scanner sees. Every dynamic QR redirects through the vendor before reaching your destination, so the scan path normally reads qr-vendor.com/r/abc123 and then your site. That vendor domain flashes in the address bar on every scan.

On client work, it is a real problem. The client paid an agency for the campaign, and a third-party domain in the deliverable is both a branding leak and a trust signal pointing the wrong way. Scanners are trained to check where a link goes, and an unfamiliar shortener is exactly what a phishing warning looks like.

White-label replaces that hop with a domain you control. The scan path becomes links.agency.com/r/abc123, and nothing in the chain names a vendor.

Walkthrough

How to Create a White-Label QR Code

Pick the domain or subdomain
A subdomain of a domain you already own is the usual choice: links.agency.com, scan.brand.com, go.client.com. A dedicated short domain works too. Most agencies run one agency-owned subdomain across every client, or one subdomain per client where the client owns the domain and expects to keep the codes.
Add the domain in the dashboard
Enter it under domain settings on the Max plan. EZQR issues a TXT record specific to that domain, which is how ownership is proven. Nothing routes until verification passes.
Create the DNS records
Add the TXT record at your DNS provider to prove ownership, then point the subdomain at EZQR with a CNAME. Propagation is usually minutes and occasionally an hour, depending on the TTL your provider serves.
Verify and assign
Trigger verification once DNS resolves. Verified domains become selectable when you create a dynamic code, so each code is issued on the right client domain from the start.
Generate codes on the custom domain
New dynamic codes encode the custom short URL. Print from there. Codes already printed on the default domain keep their original path, because the encoded pattern cannot change after printing.

Where it works

White-Label QR Code Use Cases

Agencies delivering print campaigns where the client should never see a third-party domain in their own materials.

Franchise and multi-location brands keeping every scan path on the parent brand domain.

Enterprises whose security policy requires all outbound links to resolve on a corporate-owned domain.

Regulated sectors where an unrecognised redirect domain triggers compliance review.

Packaging and product labelling with a multi-year shelf life, where the printed domain becomes part of the brand.

Direct mail at scale, where an unfamiliar shortener depresses scan rates.

Client reporting, where scan data on a client-owned domain stays portable if the relationship ends.

What works in practice

White-Label QR Code Best Practices

Use a subdomain of a domain that already has history. A brand-new short domain carries no reputation, and unfamiliar domains are exactly what scanner warnings target. links.establishedbrand.com inherits trust that a fresh domain has to earn.

Decide who owns the domain before the campaign, not after. If the client owns it, they keep the codes when the relationship ends. If the agency owns it, every client code depends on the agency continuing to renew that domain. Both are defensible. Choosing by accident is not.

Verify before the print deadline, not on it. DNS propagation is normally quick and occasionally slow, and codes cannot be generated on an unverified domain. Set it up a week ahead.

Keep the domain registered for longer than the print run lives. Packaging outlives campaigns. A lapsed domain breaks every code printed on it, and an expired short domain is a target for whoever registers it next.

Do not white-label a static code. Static codes have no redirect hop to rebrand, which also means they never carry a vendor domain in the first place. If a vendor-free scan path is the only goal, static already achieves it for free.

Use one domain per client on regulated work. Shared agency domains pool reputation, so one client problem becomes every client problem.
