Comparison

Dotwick vs Flowcode.

Switching from Flowcode

Switch in an afternoon.

Recreate each code as a Dotwick dynamic code with its own short link. Your printed codes keep pointing at their old destination until you reprint — so nothing breaks mid-migration.

  1. 01

    Export your codes

    Download your list of codes from Flowcode: name, destination and type.

  2. 02

    Recreate them here

    Upload the export in Settings → Import: each code becomes a Dotwick dynamic code with a short link you can edit. Anything a CSV can’t carry, such as an uploaded file, is recreated in the editor.

  3. 03

    Run both for a while

    Printed codes keep working on Flowcode until the next print job. There is no cut-over date.

  4. 04

    Reprint at your own pace

    New print runs carry the Dotwick code. Retire the old codes when the last print is gone.

What migration looks like

The importer reads Flowcode’s CSV export, or any CSV: you map the columns and check a preview before anything is created, and the old short link is kept as a note. Planning a large move? Talk to us and we will help.
