A static QR stores fixed information that never changes, such as a single payment address or a fixed amount. Customers can scan it again and again, which makes printing it on counters or receipts very easy for small stores and service providers. For simple use cases like tips or a single common payment destination, static QR can be enough.

Limits of static QR for growing businesses

Static QR becomes limiting when your team needs to track which staff member made the sale or what product was sold. Every payment goes to the same reference, so reports require extra manual work to understand what actually happened. Changing anything requires printing new codes, which adds friction and cost as your business grows.

How dynamic QR changes the game

A dynamic QR can create a unique payment request every time a customer scans, usually including the exact amount, order reference, or staff identifier. This brings powerful benefits for reconciliation because every payment carries context that your accounting and reporting tools can understand. It also reduces input errors, since customers do not need to type the amount or reference.

Better tracking and automation with dynamic QR

With dynamic QR your business gets clearer records of what was sold, who sold it, and when the payment arrived. This supports automated settlement, easier refunds, targeted loyalty offers, and cleaner tax reporting without manual spreadsheets. For businesses using Lytz, dynamic QR connects neatly with instant payouts and payment routines so owners can see cash flow in real time and act quickly.

Which QR type fits your business

Small operations that only need a single payment point and minimal tracking can start with static QR for simplicity. Once the focus shifts to scaling, multi staff teams, or detailed analytics, dynamic QR becomes the smarter long term choice. Lytz supports both static and dynamic QR, giving you a smooth path from simple collection to fully automated, insight driven payments as your business grows.
