QR Code for T-Shirts and Merch
Turn every T-shirt into a wearable link to your world.
A printed shirt is a billboard, but it cannot click. A QR code for T-shirts and merch makes the design interactive, linking to your music, store, socials, or a hidden surprise. Since the code is dynamic, last year's tour shirts can point to this year's release, and scan tracking shows which designs spark the most curiosity in the wild.
Why use a dynamic QR code for this
Wearable links
Fans scan your shirt to reach your shop, music, or socials wherever they go.
Future-proof designs
Repoint old merch to new content so a shirt never goes out of date.

Track which designs and drops drive the most curious scans.

Before you print it
If your t-shirt merch code may ever need to point somewhere else, create it as a dynamic QR code you can edit after printing. The printed pattern never changes; only the destination behind it does. It also means you can track every scan by day, device, and location and see which placement actually worked.
T-shirt merch FAQ
Can I change where the shirt links after it is printed?
Yes. Update the destination anytime so older merch points to your newest content.
Can I see how often the design is scanned?
Every scan is logged, letting you compare engagement across different merch designs.
Will the code still scan on fabric, and how big should it be printed?
Fabric is more forgiving than people expect as long as the print is high contrast and the shirt is not stretched flat across a curve. Print at least 5 cm across for merch, since people scan a shirt from further away than a business card, and keep a plain margin around it. Use the SVG file for screen printing or DTG so the modules stay clean.
Can I print a run of shirts before I know what they should link to?
Yes, that is a good reason to go dynamic. Create the code, point it anywhere for now, print the run, then set the real destination before the shirts go on sale. You can keep changing it for the life of the shirt, which is why old tour merch can point at a current release.
Can I see how many people scanned it?
Dynamic codes log every scan with time, device and rough location, so you can tell which placement is doing the work. Scan analytics are part of Pro.
