asked on Can a QR code be customized for each flier?
I know you can easily embed a web URL into a QR code, but I hope for more.
I want to append a unique command-line parameter onto each QR code, one for each flier I send out, so I can better track my response rates to mass snail mailings.
So, how would I accomplish this?
If I used Bit.ly to redirect the URL, I presume I would not have the option to pass in a unique parameter in the URL. Or, is that option available in some way? By a Bit.ly alternative?
If not, I could replicate Bit.ly, for my one domain, and make sure the site accept all parameters passed in, then simply pass them along to the web URL referenced in the QR code.
Does this make sense?
If I did such a thing, I would need software which can also mass generate QR codes, so I can provide a batch of them to the printer.
Does that software exist?
It seems easy...is it?
Thanks

I need to be more clear. I understand how each "flier" can have a unique QR code. I meant to say each recipient having their own QR code.
To me, a QR code is a 3-D bar code, so I know it it not rocket science to generate 1,000 unique QR codes. The question is on having the kinds of useful URL embedded in the QR code.
For example:
https://mydomain.com/mailing?mailcode=1234&fliercode=456&usercode=1092949
Can this example (above) be embedded in a QR code?
I actually would like to NOT use a Bit.ly service, since I think that would limit my ability to pass params.
Or, is there another way I am missing?

how about embedding a URL into a QR code?
