Just because you <i>can</i> make it a subscription doesn&#x27;t mean you should.

Honest question: why would anyone pay for this? Several dollars a month for a QR Code? Is this a few bucks a month for one code or for access to the API to make unlimited?<p>I don&#x27;t get it, but maybe I&#x27;m not able to think of the business applications.

My 2 cents: Not the worst idea, but you should really explain what it does on your web site.<p>Also a subscription per QR code is not very attractive and it&#x27;s hard to keep track of multiple codes for users. Selling memberships (such as 5 codes for $9&#x2F;mo, 20 codes for $19&#x2F;mo etc) could be a better model.

Thanks all for the feedback! I went ahead and made codes with the domain as the message to be free. As a potential scanner of QR codes, I feel like this is more&#x2F;most helpful - I kind of want to know what I&#x27;m scanning before I scan it.

In the preview an x renders like an i. I think the top and bottom pixels in the middle column can be removed to make it look more like an x.

The QR codes point to toecodes.com, not to your domain. I feel disappointed.
