Abstract
A dynamic quick response (QR) code including an encoded unique value is displayed in association with an item displayed in a retail environment. A configured QR code change event is detected. Encoding of the dynamic QR code is changed to encode a new unique value. The new unique value is based upon a set of contemporaneous data elements associated with the item displayed in the retail environment. The encoded new unique value of the changed dynamic QR code is archived. The changed dynamic QR code including the encoded new unique value is displayed in association with the item displayed in the retail environment.
