A short URL is a condensed web address that redirects to a longer destination URL. In the context of QR codes, short URLs are used inside dynamic codes to keep the code pattern simple and scannable while enabling redirect tracking. Shorter URLs produce less dense QR codes, which are easier to scan at small sizes.
The QR code encoded a short URL like go.brand.com/spring that redirected to the full campaign landing page with tracking parameters.
