Why one payment works

A dynamic QR code is a short link that forwards to your page. Keeping that redirect running costs very little, so there is no reason for it to be a subscription. You pay once for the code, and it keeps forwarding.

What “lifetime” means here

No expiry date and no renewal. If PermaQR ever closes, you get at least 12 months’ notice by email and an export of every code and link, so you have time to replace printed material.
