Normal QR vs Wowsly QR – The Smarter QR Code for Events

12 September 2025

When we talk about QR codes, most people think of a small square box that stores one piece of information, like a link, a contact, or a payment option. Yes, that is what a normal QR code does. But today, events are not about just sharing a single link or storing basic data. Events are about experiences, smooth management, and giving both guests and organisers an easy way to connect. This is where the Wowsly QR Code makes a big difference.

In this blog, we will explain in simple language the difference between a normal QR code and Wowsly’s QR code, and why Wowsly is the best choice for event organisers, exhibitors, and guests.

What is a Normal QR Code?

A normal QR code is a code that you generate on free platforms that are available online. These codes are very simple in nature.

Some common features of a normal QR code are:

  • Stores only one value (like a link, ID, or text).
  • Used for a single purpose only (example: redirecting to a website).
  • No extra features – just scan and open one detail.
  • Works well for small needs, but not suitable for big events.

Example: If you are organising a wedding, you can generate a QR code for your website link. If you are organising an exhibition, you can generate a QR code for the event entry page. But that’s it – it ends there.

So, a normal QR code is limited and very basic.

What is Wowsly’s QR Code?

Now comes the smarter solution – Wowsly QR Code.

Wowsly is a modern event ticketing and event management platform that understands the real challenges of organisers. Instead of giving just one detail, Wowsly designed a QR code that can handle 10–20 different facilities in one single code.

That means with just one QR code, you can manage multiple things at your event.

Here’s what makes Wowsly QR Code powerful:

  • Not just for check-in, but for food coupons like lunch, breakfast, or tea.
  • Works as a gift coupon.
  • One QR code can be used for multiple guests together.
  • Guests can scan the same QR to get exhibition details.
  • Exhibitors can showcase their stall details through the QR.
  • Guests can share and exchange contact details with each other.
  • Helps in guest-to-guest communication during events.
  • The organiser’s contact can also be saved from the same QR.
  • Complete event information can be managed from a single scan.

In short, Wowsly’s QR code is not just a code – it’s your event’s digital key.

Key Differences: Normal QR vs Wowsly QR
