At Digital Biz Agency, we don’t just build websites — we build products. QRBranch is one of our most recent projects: a complete SaaS platform for generating and managing QR codes, built and launched end-to-end by our team.
The Problem
Most QR code generators on the market solve half the problem. They’ll get you a scannable image, but the moment you print it on a menu, a flyer, or packaging, that code is frozen forever. Change your link, and you’re reprinting everything from scratch. Add a logo, and you get a generic, poorly placed overlay that looks like an afterthought. And once the code is out in the world, there’s usually no way to know who’s actually scanning it.
We wanted to build something that treated a QR code as a living asset, not a static image.
What We Built
QRBranch supports 15 different QR code types — links, WiFi credentials, digital business cards, event invites, restaurant menus, and more — with two core modes:
- Static codes for one-time, permanent use.
- Dynamic codes, which route through a short link you control. Update the destination anytime, and every printed code updates instantly — no reprinting, ever.
On the design side, users get full control over colors, gradients, dot and corner styles, frames, and logo placement, with automatic image cropping and compression so no technical know-how is required.
For dynamic codes, QRBranch tracks real scan analytics — location, device, and time — with bot traffic automatically filtered out, so the data reflects actual human engagement. Business-tier users also get access to a REST API to generate and manage QR codes programmatically, useful for teams that want to fold QR generation directly into their own products or workflows.
The Stack
We built QRBranch on a lean, dependency-light Node.js and Express backend, using SQLite for data storage — a deliberate choice that keeps the infrastructure simple and easy to maintain while comfortably handling the scale a growing SaaS product needs. Billing runs on Stripe with full subscription management (upgrades, downgrades, cancellations, invoice history), transactional email via Resend, and bot protection via Cloudflare Turnstile.
The Result
QRBranch launched on Product Hunt and is live today at qrbranch.com, with a free tier, a Pro plan, and a Business plan for teams that need the API and higher limits.
It’s a good example of how we approach projects at Digital Biz Agency: start from a real, specific frustration, and build a focused product that actually solves it — not a feature-bloated clone of what’s already out there.
