Common Errors

See an error message? We’ve got solutions.

What it means: You’ve hit the limit of QR codes for your plan.

PlanLimit
Free5 codes
Starter50 codes
Pro500 codes
BusinessUnlimited

Fix:

  • Delete old codes you no longer need. This frees up space to create new ones.
  • Deactivate codes instead of deleting (they stop working but you can reactivate).
  • Upgrade your plan for more codes. See Plans & Pricing.

To delete: Open a code, click the three dots (⋯), and choose Delete.

To deactivate: Open a code and toggle the Active switch off. The code stops working but you can turn it back on anytime.

What it means: Your login session timed out. This happens when you leave the app idle for a while.

Fix:

  • Sign in again — click the sign-in button and enter your email and password.
  • If you’re in the middle of creating a code, your draft was probably saved — go to the dashboard and look for it.
  • Try refreshing the page (Cmd+R or Ctrl+R) and signing in again.

Prevent it: Signing in on a new browser or device? Check “Keep me signed in” on the login form.

What it means: The code you’re trying to access doesn’t exist or was deleted.

Why it happens:

  • The code was deleted by you or a team member.
  • The code was deactivated (no longer active).
  • You don’t have permission to access it.
  • The URL is wrong.

Fix:

  • Go back to your dashboard and find the code in your list.
  • If it’s not there, check the Trash or Archived section (if your team has one).
  • If a team member deleted it, they should be able to restore it (contact them).
  • If you think this is a mistake, contact support.

Error: “Network Error” or “Connection Failed”

Section titled “Error: “Network Error” or “Connection Failed””

What it means: Your device can’t reach Qrius servers. Could be your internet or a server issue.

Fix:

  • Check your internet — open another website (google.com) to confirm you’re connected.
  • Wait a moment — if Qrius servers are down, we’re probably already fixing it. Try again in 30 seconds.
  • Refresh the page (Cmd+R or Ctrl+R).
  • Restart your WiFi — turn off WiFi, wait 10 seconds, turn it back on.
  • Try a different network (mobile hotspot, different WiFi) to rule out a local issue.
  • Clear your browser cache — go to Settings > Clear browsing data > select “All time” and clear.

Still failing? Check our status page to see if there’s a known outage.

Error: “Payment Failed” or “Billing Error”

Section titled “Error: “Payment Failed” or “Billing Error””

What it means: Your credit card was declined or your payment didn’t go through.

Why it happens:

  • Card expired.
  • Insufficient funds.
  • Card blocked by your bank (fraud prevention).
  • Incorrect card details.

Fix:

  1. Go to SettingsBilling.
  2. Click Update Payment Method.
  3. Enter a different credit card.
  4. Try the payment again.

If your bank declined it: Contact your bank and ask why the charge was blocked. They might’ve flagged it as suspicious. Once you confirm it’s legitimate, try Qrius again.

Error: “Permission Denied” or “You Don’t Have Access”

Section titled “Error: “Permission Denied” or “You Don’t Have Access””

What it means: Your account doesn’t have permission to do that action.

Why it happens:

  • You’re viewing someone else’s code and aren’t a team member.
  • You’re trying to access an admin feature you don’t have.
  • Your team member removed your access.

Fix:

  • Ask a team owner to add you back to the team.
  • Check your team’s Members page (Settings → Team) to confirm your role.
  • If you’re supposed to have access, screenshot the error and contact support.

Error: “Slow Loading” or “Page Takes Forever”

Section titled “Error: “Slow Loading” or “Page Takes Forever””

What it means: The dashboard or a page is loading very slowly.

Why it happens:

  • Weak internet connection.
  • Too many QR codes in your dashboard (loading thousands at once).
  • Browser has too many tabs/extensions running.
  • Qrius servers are busy (rare).

Fix:

  • Check your internet — is anything else slow?
  • Close other browser tabs to free up memory.
  • Disable browser extensions temporarily (ad blockers, VPNs can slow things down).
  • Wait a minute — if servers are busy, traffic clears quickly.
  • Hard refresh your browser (Cmd+Shift+R on Mac, Ctrl+Shift+R on Windows).
  • Clear your browser cache (Settings > Clear browsing data).

If one page is slow but others are fast: That specific page might be loading a lot of data. Try filtering your QR codes list by status or date to load fewer at once.

What it means: You’re using an old or unsupported browser.

Fix:

  • Update your browser — go to Settings and check for updates.
  • Use a modern browser:
    • Chrome (latest)
    • Firefox (latest)
    • Safari (latest)
    • Edge (latest)
  • If you can’t update, try a different browser.

Qrius works on:

  • Desktop (Windows, Mac, Linux)
  • Mobile (iOS, Android)
  • Tablets

Error: “Invalid URL” or “Bad Destination”

Section titled “Error: “Invalid URL” or “Bad Destination””

What it means: The URL you entered isn’t valid or doesn’t work.

Why it happens:

  • Missing https:// or http://
  • Typo in the domain name.
  • URL too long (over 2000 characters).

Fix:

  • Make sure your URL starts with https:// or http://.
  • Check the spelling — goggle.com won’t work; google.com will.
  • Test the URL in your browser first to confirm it works.
  • If it’s a very long URL, consider shortening it with a URL shortener first.

What it means: Your QR code didn’t save to the database.

Why it happens:

  • Network hiccup during save.
  • Your session timed out.
  • Server temporary issue.

Fix:

  • Try again — click the save/download button again.
  • Refresh the page and try again.
  • If you’re far into the wizard, your code was probably saved as a draft. Check your dashboard.
  • If it keeps failing, contact support.

Contact support and describe:

  • What were you doing? (creating a code, updating settings, etc.)
  • What error did you see? (screenshot helps)
  • Browser and OS (Chrome on Mac, Safari on iPhone, etc.)
  • What you already tried

We’ll get it sorted fast.
