Limitations and considerations

Scan and click analytics are available through your Bitly dashboard, not directly inside Canva.
A Bitly account is required to use the integration; some analytics features are only available on paid plans.
QR Codes created through Canva using Bitly are dynamic, which means updating the destination requires an active Bitly account.
The Bitly app in Canva is designed for creating and inserting links and QR Codes; bulk operations and advanced campaign management are best handled from the Bitly platform directly.
