“Never expire” + print them permanently
“Codes never expire. As long as the scan destination is still online/active, your code will still work.”
flowcode.com/blog · Are Flowcode QR Codes Free? ↗“This makes it much more affordable to use Flowcodes for long-term or permanent marketing, such as on your storefront or on your brochures or business cards.”
Same blog · permanent print push ↗“Flowcodes never expire, so go ahead and put them out in the world.”
Help · free / scan-limit (marketing cadence) ↗Marketing surfaces sell permanence: never expire + put the print on storefronts and business cards. Pricing also rows “Always scan.”
Cancel / downgrade · edit-lock matrix
Destination + design lock beyond free pair
“If you downgrade to our Basic tier from a premium account, you will only retain access to the 2 most recent codes you made.”
Help · What happens when I cancel? ↗“If users fail to renew their contracts or payment fails, they will no longer be able to access the code/page details or update backend details such as scan destination, code design, page details, and page design.”
Help · Post-contract access ↗“…any of your Flowcodes which are in excess of the Flowcode Free plan code threshold will be archived and re-directed to flowcode.com or another location of our choosing.”
Terms · cancel archive/redirect (contract risk) ↗After cancel: edits collapse to the free pair; post-contract locks destination + design; Terms may archive excess codes. “Never expire” ≠ forever-editable print.
| Edit-lock matrix | Flowcode (marketing vs cancel) | NeverDie |
|---|---|---|
| Marketing promise on permanence | Blog + free FAQ: “never expire” / “put them out in the world”; pricing: Always scan | Forever-static pack: URL/text encoded in PNG/SVG — no plan gate |
| Edit destination after cancel / non-pay | Locked beyond 2 most recent on Basic; post-contract blocks destination updates | Static: N/A (already in image). Dynamic: always editable — no cancel cliff |
| Edit code / page design after cancel | Post-contract: design + page details locked until re-upgrade | Static files you already own; reprint when you choose |
| Pricing “Edit destination anytime” | True while the paid seat is active — not after cancel beyond free pair | No subscription required to keep a static print useful |
| Codes above Free threshold on early cancel | Help: keep scanning (edit-locked). Terms: may archive + redirect to flowcode.com | No Free-plan threshold on forever-static prints |
| Already printed Flowcode dynamics? | Print keeps Flowcode’s redirect until you reprint | CSV rescue → new NeverDie codes; forever-static for next print run |
Marketing never-expire matrix deepens beyond #16 Help vs Terms — not a redo of #10 help-only honesty or #14/#15. Primary escape hatches: /print-pack forever-static generator and /import/flowcode CSV rescue.

Marketing never-expire FAQ
What is the Flowcode marketing never-expire vs edit-lock matrix?+
Homepage/blog marketing says codes never expire and encourages permanent print placements; pricing rows Always scan and Edit destination anytime. Cancel / post-contract docs lock destination and design beyond the free pair — and Terms may archive excess codes. Same product, marketing permanence vs cancel edit-lock.
Is this the same as #10 Flowcode honesty?+
No. #10 cites the Help “Will my codes expire?” article alone (never-expire + post-contract in one help page). This page cites homepage/blog marketing + pricing Always-scan against the cancel edit-lock matrix — a different surface.
Is this the same as #16 Help vs Terms?+
No. #16 contrasts Help “continue to scan” with Terms archive/redirect. This page contrasts marketing never-expire permanence with the edit-lock-on-cancel matrix (destination + design). Beyond #16; does not reopen it.
Does “never expire” mean I can always edit printed codes?+
Marketing implies permanence for print. Cancel docs: only the 2 most recent stay editable on Basic; post-contract blocks destination and design updates. Scans may continue (Help) or excess codes may archive (Terms) — editability is the cliff this matrix surfaces.
How does the forever-static print pack foil this?+
NeverDie forever-static codes encode URL/text directly in the PNG/SVG. No redirect server, no Free-plan threshold, nothing to edit-lock or archive on cancel. Build the pack on /print-pack (#9 landing stays as-is).
How does CSV rescue help?+
Export your Flowcode CSV, upload on /import/flowcode, get fresh NeverDie dynamic codes with manage links. Old Flowcode prints keep pointing at Flowcode until you reprint. Same importer as prior Flowcode rescue work — not a redo of #14/#15.
Does this reopen #14 Canva or #15 QR Tiger?+
No. #14 Canva ConnectQR and #15 QR Tiger FAQ contradiction stay as merged. This page adds a Flowcode marketing never-expire vs edit-lock matrix with print-pack + Flowcode CSV rescue CTAs and light cross-links only.
