Canva Hovercode App - Dynamic QR codes
Canva is an incredibly powerful design tool used by millions. In order to make dynamic QR codes fit into your workflow, we build a Canva app that lets you create powerful QR codes without leaving the Canva editor.
Our Canva app is called “Dynamic QR codes”
It’s intended to be a simpler version of the QR code generator on hovercode.com that saved you having to download the QR code you generate and import into Canva.
How it works
When you first install the app, you can use it without connecting to Hovercode. You can explore the app and generate as many static QR codes as you like. You can also create 3 dynamic codes before you are prompted to connect your account to Hovercode.
If you want to create dynamic QR codes that let you edit the scan destination and see scan analytics, you simply toggle the “Dynamic” option when creating the QR code.
You can either then add the code to the design, or customise the design further by clicking "Customize"
You can do all of this without even creating a Hovercode account. If you want to see your existing codes, click on "My codes".
You can click into a specific code to view the scan count and update the scan destination.
You can only do this if the code is dynamic. It is not possible of the code is static.
If you reach your limit of 3 dynamic QR codes, you will be prompted to connect to Hovercode. You can also connect to a Hovercode account at any moment by clicking the "Connect Hovercode Account" button at the bottom of the main page.
If you don't already have an account at Hovercode.com, you can create one. Once you are connected to Hovercode, you can access your codes and update your codes in Hovercode. As the Canva app is a simpler version of Hovercode, you have many more options available at Hovercode.com.
The pricing when using our Canva app is similar as when using hovercode.com. Unlimited static QR codes for free and 10 dynamic QR codes for free (as opposed to 3 dynamic QR codes for free when you sign up to Hovercode directly). If you need to create more dynamic QR codes, prices start at $12 per month.
If you delete dynamic QR codes from your Hovercode account, it frees up space in your free allowance for dynamic QR codes. We don’t expire dynamic free QR codes after a certain time or number of scans. If you upgrade your account, create more QR codes than the free limit, then downgrade, the codes you created above the free limit will expire, but your initial free dynamic codes will not.
You can disconnect your Canva account from your Hovercode account by clicking the "Remove from your apps" button in the app menu.
The account you create at Hovercode is unrelated to your Canva account, so you don’t need to use the same email/password as you do with Canva. Having Canva pro is also unrelated to using the Dynamic QR codes Canva app and the Hovercode pricing plans.
The Canva app doesn't have all of the same features as the QR code generator on Hovercode.com (e.g. vCard QR codes, PDF QR codes, and some of the design options). It's intended as a light version of Hovercode for quickly creating dynamic QR codes within Canva. If you need the more advanced features, create the QR code at Hovercode.com, then download the PNG file and import it into your Canva design.
