Frequently asked questions
What is a Substack QR code?
A Substack QR code encodes your newsletter URL — https://yournewsletter.substack.com — so anyone who scans it lands on your Substack homepage where they can subscribe.
How do I find my Substack subdomain?
Your Substack subdomain is the part before .substack.com in your newsletter URL. You can find and change it in your Substack dashboard under Settings → Publication details.
Can I use a custom domain with this QR code?
This generator uses the substack.com subdomain URL. If you have a custom domain set up for your newsletter, use the URL QR code generator with your custom domain instead.
What are the best uses for Substack QR codes?
Speaking events and conferences, podcast merchandise, book releases, business cards, workshop handouts, local advertising, street posters, and any offline touchpoint where you want to convert strangers into subscribers.
Can the QR code link directly to a subscribe page?
The standard URL takes visitors to your newsletter homepage. To link directly to the subscribe form, use the URL QR code generator with https://yourname.substack.com/subscribe as the destination.
What if I migrate away from Substack?
A static QR code permanently encodes your Substack URL. If you move to Ghost, Beehiiv, or another platform, use Dynamic QR so you can update the destination without reprinting any printed materials.
