SmrtLnks is a smart link router with dynamic QR codes that sends each visitor to a country-specific destination from a single short URL or printed QR code.
What is SmrtLnks?
SmrtLnks lets you create one short URL or QR code that automatically redirects visitors to different destinations based on their country. You set a default destination and add per-country overrides; the service detects the visitor’s location at the edge without needing IP databases or GeoIP plugins. Every link includes a dynamic QR code that can be updated after printing, and all scans still obey geo-routing rules. The platform is web-based with API access on the Pro tier.

How does SmrtLnks work?
You create a short link (e.g., go.smrtlink.link/spring-sale), set a default destination, then add per-country overrides. When a visitor clicks the link or scans the QR code, SmrtLnks detects the visitor’s country at the edge and redirects to the matching URL. If no override exists for the visitor’s country, the default destination is used. Every redirect is logged with country, time, and destination served.
