A scan that opens a Discord server invite in the Discord app — one tap and they're in the community. No long codes to type, no "search for our server" detour.
Use a permanent invite. The server-default invite expires; create a "Never expires, Unlimited uses" invite in Discord first, then paste it here. Otherwise the QR breaks after the first batch of joins.
Pick the right mode
Server inviteJust enter the invite code (the bit after
discord.gg/). We build the full URL.
Paste URLAny other Discord URL — channel deep-link, app deep-link, web.
Setting it up
1
Create a permanent invite in Discord (Server settings → Invites → "Never expires, Unlimited uses"). Copy the code.
2
Open the link editor at
/app/links/new and pick Discord.3
Paste the invite code (just the part after
discord.gg/) — or paste the full URL in Paste-URL mode.4
Save. Print the QR or share the short link.
Where it earns its print run
- Game packaging + collector editions — buyers join the community.
- Course / cohort welcome pack — bridge from purchase into the live chat.
- Conference / meetup badges — attendees join the after-party server.
- Stream-overlay corner — viewers tap their phone to the screen, they're in.
Editing the destination later
Edit at any time from the link editor. If your invite ever expires or you need to rotate it for moderation reasons, swap the code in the editor — the underlying short link stays the same so the QR keeps working.
