QR Codes and E-Label Hosting Options
When creating E-Labels with Bottlebooks, you have three different options for how your QR codes behave and where they direct consumers.
Standard Option: Host E-Labels with Bottlebooks
Redirection: Point the QR Code to an External Webpage
Custom Domain: Use Your Own URL with Bottlebooks Hosting
When you create a QR code in Bottlebooks, it will generate a short URL starting with [q.bottle.info].
Scanning the code will take the consumer directly to your Bottlebooks-hosted E-Label page.
QR Code → Bottlebooks → Bottlebooks E-Label Page
Requires a Bottlebooks E-Labels subscription.
None.
Instead of using the default Bottlebooks E-Label page, you can configure your QR code to redirect to a webpage of your choice.
The QR code still starts with [q.bottle.info], but redirects to an external URL you provide.
