We won't turn off the code you printed to collect a bill.
A QR code on a box cannot be recalled. The redirect behind it can still be switched off. We refuse to make that a billing tactic.
Saw this under a QR code? That code runs through Whooshly, and this page is the promise behind it. Check a code you printed elsewhere

PRO ENDS.
THE LINK DOESN'T.
Printing an editable QR puts a company in the middle.
A static QR code has your destination baked into the pattern. It scans forever, with no company in the middle, because there is nothing in the middle. But it also can never be edited.
A dynamic QR code can be re-pointed after printing because it contains a short redirect. Every scan travels through the company hosting that redirect. The editability is useful. The dependency is real.
A dead redirect does not announce itself on the carton. Someone finds out by scanning. Then you have packaging to relabel or flyers to reprint.
We keep the published route live.
Published links keep resolving when Pro ends. Core has no renewal date. A bill will not break the code you already put in someone else's hands.
The commitments, line by lineSix lines we won't cross.
The terms are public. If we cross one of these lines, you can point to the promise we broke.
- 01
Your codes and links never deactivate for non-payment
Core is paid once. There is no renewal date to miss. Published short links and QR codes keep resolving even if you never buy another thing from us. We will not use a redirect as a collection notice.
- 02
No ads, no interstitials, ever
A scan goes to the destination you chose. We will not put our own page in the middle, including on free. We will not change that bargain after you print.
- 03
No scan caps, no per-click bills
We count clicks and scans for your analytics, not toward a shutdown threshold, and we never bill you per click or scan. A campaign that works will not quietly stop because it worked too well.
- 04
No retroactive changes to links already in the wild
Your own edits are yours to make. Product changes are ours to manage; we will not rewrite the behavior of a link you already published behind your back.
- 05
Your data leaves whenever you want it to
Export your links and codes with their destinations as a CSV from the dashboard. You should be able to check the promise, and leave with your records if we fail it.
- 06
If we ever close, you hear first and your links keep working
If Whooshly shuts down, you get at least 12 months' notice by email. Published links and QR codes keep resolving through that notice, and export stays open until the last day. If Whooshly changes hands, this pledge goes with it.
Before you send it to print
Do Whooshly QR codes expire?
No. A dynamic QR code made in Whooshly keeps resolving for as long as your account exists, and the Core purchase is one-time, so there is no renewal date that could pass. We do not deactivate codes for non-payment and we do not cap scans.
What happens to my codes if I stop paying?
Nothing happens to Core or Business, because neither is a subscription. Cancelling optional Pro only returns analytics to your plan's window; every link, QR code and custom domain keeps working.
Will you ever put ads on my links?
No, on any tier, including free. A scan goes to your destination and nowhere else, and we will never add an interstitial retroactively.
What about custom domains?
Core includes one supported custom domain and Business includes 10, both paid once, so there is no domain subscription to lapse. Every link and QR code published on your domain keeps resolving.
Can I export my links and leave?
Yes, any time, from your dashboard. Export every link and code with its destination as CSV.
What happens to my links if Whooshly shuts down?
You get at least 12 months' notice by email. Every published link and QR code keeps resolving through that period, and you can export every link with its destination until the last day. Codes on your own custom domain can then be pointed at another service, so they never have to be reprinted.
Is a static QR code safer than a dynamic one?
For pure survival, yes: its destination is inside the pattern. The trade-off is that it can never be edited or tracked.

Print it once. Keep it working.
One payment for all seven products, with the pledge above attached.
