Qfuse Frequently Asked Questions

General

1. What sets Qfuse apart from others?

   For starters, Qfuse is many powerful things in one. It's a QR Code generator with an integrated URL shortener; a powerful QR code analytics and tracking solution; NFC Tag URL tracker; and a mobile website builder and CMS. What other systems do all that? Read more.

2. What is 'The Mobile Web'?

   We often use that expression on this site. Allow us to clarify: the mobile web is the collection of websites and content tailored to a mobile device. We feel that websites which actually look good and render on a mobile device are better able to provide value to the person, organization, group, band, or business distributing that content. Qfuse makes it so easy to join “The Mobile Web” because that’s the only kind of content it creates.

3. Can Qfuse be used with other mobile technologies aside from QR codes, such as NFC, SMS and Microsoft TAG?

   Absolutely! While Qfuse contains an integrated QR code generator and tracking system, it can easily be coupled with technologies beyond QR codes. Qfuse allows you to generate mobile-friendly websites and landing pages with unique URLs that can be leveraged for any type of mobile communication. So whether it's a 2D barcode, an NFC tag, or SMS text message you can point them all to your Qfuse mobile website to provide users with an engaging and mobile-friendly experience under your own brand identity.

Technical-Related

1. I need help building my mobile site. Can Qfuse team help?

   Definitely! While in most cases we encourage folks to check out our knowledge base for videos and tutorials on how to use the system, we do also offer support to our paid clients and help them create and customize content on their professional mobile website.

2. What types of smartphones does Qfuse support?

   Qfuse is intended to target contemporary smartphones that use the Webkit rendering engine. This includes iPhone and Android, as well as newer versions of Blackberry or HTC. Just about any full-featured smartphone will work with Qfuse.

3. Can you provide a redirect script to put on our desktop site?
   The javascript below will work with any site. Feel free to put this snippet on the homepage of your desktop site, and it will redirect users to your Qfuse site.

   <script language="javascript">
var redirectagent = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
var redirect_devices = ['vnd.wap.xhtml+xml', 'sony', 'symbian',
'nokia', 'samsung', 'mobile', 'windows ce', 'epoc', 'opera mini',
'nitro', 'j2me', 'midp-', 'cldc-', 'netfront', 'mot', 'up.browser',
'up.link', 'audiovox', 'blackberry', 'ericsson', 'panasonic',
'philips', 'sanyo', 'sharp', 'sie-', 'portalmmm', 'blazer', 'avantgo',
'danger', 'palm', 'series60', 'palmsource', 'pocketpc', 'smartphone',
'rover', 'ipaq', 'au-mic', 'alcatel', 'ericy', 'vodafone', 'wap1',
'wap2', 'teleca', 'playstation', 'lge', 'lg-', 'iphone', 'android',
'htc', 'dream', 'webos', 'bolt', 'nintendo'];
for (var i in redirect_devices) {
   if (redirectagent.indexOf(redirect_devices[i]) != -1) {
       location.replace("http://qfuse.com/s/[username]");
   }
}
</script>


   Simply replace [username] with your Qfuse username.

   Note: if you want to allow users the ability to select a "view desktop site" option from your Qfuse mobile site, the above will not work; a server-side script is necessary to correctly implement that functionality to avoid a redirect loop. Contact us for technical details.

Affliate/Partner-Related

1. Do you have a white-label option available?

   We do not have a true white/private label solution in place just yet, though it is on our roadmap. However, what we can currently support is a "Pro Partnership" whereby you can effectively become a Qfuse partner and we'd give you special pricing on Pro-level accounts that you can then leverage to service your clients in any manner you want, at any price you want. We do not publish standardized pricing for pro-accounts (which are custom-quoted, depending on requirements) so there would be no basis for competition/comparison.

   So while clients may be aware that Qfuse is the platform you're using (just like most websites are built on common platforms these days), the idea is that you can tell your clients that as a Qfuse Pro partner you are able to pass along advanced features to them at discounted costs compared to if they came to us directly. Please contact us to find out more.
