Discover the differences between a dynamic QR and a static QR and why professional events use dynamic QRs with systems like Woolando for access control, capacity and anti-fraud.
In any systemmodern ticketing, the type of QR code used makes a key difference insecurity, control and scalability.
Although at first glance they may seem the same,a dynamic QR and a static QR work very differently, and choosing wrong can causefraud, duplicity or loss of control of the event.
At Woolando we work exclusively withDynamic QRs integrated into our software, because it is the only valid option for professional events.
What is a static QR?
Astatic QRcontains the information directly within the code.
Main features:
❌ The informationcannot be modified
❌ You canbe easily copied or forwarded
❌ No real-time validation
❌ Does not allow blocking duplicate access
❌ Does not offer traceability or capacity control
Typical example:
A PDF with entries sent by email where the QR is always the same.
If someone shares it,two people enter with the same ticket.
👉 This type of QRNOT valid for events with real control.
What is a dynamic QR?
Adynamic QRdoes not contain the final information, but rather aidentifier that is validated in real time against a central system.
Key advantages:
✅ Online validation in milliseconds
✅ Automatic lock after first access
✅ Capacity control in real time
✅ Detection of fraud attempts
✅ Possibility to cancel, pause or reactivate entries
✅ Access log (time, point, user)
This is the type of QR usedWoolandoin all your ticketing systems.
