A scan that drops the listener straight into Spotify on the surface you choose — single track, full album, artist page, curated playlist, podcast episode. Play button is right there.
Pick the surface, not just the URL. Track for a single release. Album for the full record. Artist for the discography. Playlist for curated drops. Episode for podcasts.
Pick the right mode
TrackPaste the track URL or Spotify URI (
spotify:track:…).
AlbumPaste the album URL or URI. Scanners land on the full record.
ArtistPaste the artist URL or URI — default for "follow us" cards.
PlaylistPaste the playlist URL or URI. Good for venue / café atmosphere mixes.

Paste URLAnything else — show, user, full Spotify URL.
Setting it up
1
Open the link editor at
/app/links/new and pick Spotify from the type tiles.2
Pick a mode — Track / Album / Artist / Playlist / Episode / Paste URL.
3
Paste the URL or URI. You can copy either from Spotify's share sheet — both formats route fine.
4
Save. Print the QR or share the short link.
Where it earns its print run
- Vinyl + CD inserts — scan to add to library, follow, save the album.
- Café / bar / hotel — table tents pointing at the venue playlist.
- Podcast host cards — listeners scan to follow your show.
- Event posters — "our pre-show mix" playlist QR.
Editing the destination later
Edit at any time from the link editor. Point at a new single release week, then swap back to the artist page — the underlying short link stays the same and the QR keeps working.
