Good to know

Static QR codes only; no hosted redirects or scan analytics. Digital verification does not guarantee every physical print will scan. Styled codes and PDF require an eligible marketplace plan.

Website demos use small inputs and an anonymous allowance. Production limits depend on your marketplace plan.

Demo limits & data handling

FAQ

Which marketplace should I pick?

Choose an available listing for the capability you need. Compare its current plans, allowance and billing units. Examples on this site support both providers.

How does the demo allowance work?

When enabled, demos share 10 light and 2 heavy dispatched attempts per UTC day, with browser and network limits. This is an anonymous allowance, not a guaranteed per-person entitlement.

What if a live demo is paused?

Use the supplied sample preview and integration examples. Available marketplace listings provide production access independently of the website’s demo gate.

Can I use my own files?
