Destinations
What a scan can open, and why the artwork never has to change when you change your mind.
Every KuikCode starts with a destination, chosen in Step 1 of the editor. Pick the card that matches the job; the form for that destination appears underneath.
Dynamic by design
A KuikCode does not encode your destination. It encodes a short scan link, kuikco.de/p/ followed by a nine-character id, or the same id on your own branded host. When a phone scans it, KuikCode looks up the current destination and redirects. Edit the destination as often as you like: the dot pattern, and everything you printed, keeps working. The same link is what records the scan for analytics, applies UTM parameters, asks for an access code, and evaluates Smart Rules.
The one exception is WiFi, which is a static code: the network name and password are written into the pattern itself so a phone can join without internet access. Static codes cannot be edited after printing and record no scans. The preview shows Code type: Dynamic or Static so you always know which one you are printing.
Destination types
| Destination | What a scan does | Plan |
|---|---|---|
| Website | Opens any URL | All |
| KuikPage | Opens a landing page built in KuikCode, see KuikPages | Starter and up |
| Hosted Site | Opens a static site you uploaded as a ZIP, hosted on kuik.page | Starter and up |
| Show a PDF | Opens a PDF you upload | All |
| Show an Image | Opens a photo full screen | All |
| vCard | Shows a digital business card with a save-to-contacts button | All |
| Event | Shows the event and adds it to the phone's calendar | All |
| Map Location | Opens directions in Google Maps | All |
| Call a Number | Starts a phone call to the number, country code included | All |
| WiFi | Joins a network, static code | All |
| Geolocation | Sends visitors to a different link per country or US state | PRO |
| Smart Rules | Routes by time, device, language, distance and more, see Smart rules | PRO |
| GS1 Digital Link | A retail barcode and a web link in one code, see GS1 Digital Link | Business |
PDF and image destinations can carry one file per language; the scanner's phone language picks the file. Because that is routing, multilingual files count as Smart Rules for plan purposes.
Changing a destination later
Open the code from your library, change the destination in Step 1 and save. Printed copies follow within a minute. You can also switch destination type entirely, for example from a PDF to a KuikPage, without reprinting.
Archiving
Archive a code you no longer need. Its scans then show a neutral "This code is no longer active" page, its slot in your plan is freed, and its analytics stay readable. Unarchive at any time.
