Need a QR for dummies type explanation

I know for many of you the QR code thing is very elementary.  For me, I am in need of a QR For Dummies! My question:  There is already the Zazzle QR code that will go on my design even if I do not do one.  What is in that QR code?  Does it contain the info such as what designer and zazzle store the design comes from?  If so, then for me, that is acceptable and I do not feel a need to make my own code.  When we went through the problem with the designer attribution being messed up when zazzle added the heart and their logo in addition to our own attribution, I started removing most of my attributions because it looked terrible and I did not want the customer to pay extra to remove it.But I do want the customer to have the info about where the design came from and to list me as the designer of their purchase. Now, after trying several times to do a QR code unsuccessfully, I gave up because I thought I read somewhere that the automated QR code that Zazzle offers WILL contain the info about who designer is and the store.  So, I  would be happy with that.  But am I correct in thinking that the zazzle QR code has my store name contained within it?  Or do I need to go back to adding my own attribution (the old fashioned kind, not QRcode).    Sorry for the clear as mud question!

@idraw, Thanks for taking time to  reply.  The problem is,   I HAVE read all the info presented to us here on Zazzle as well as done some researching online.  So far, the info  is presented in a way that can be confusing to a novice.   I'll probably  keep looking and trying and maybe the light bulb with come on!

Hopefully your posts will draw attention to…and cause zazzle to make the use of QR codes more clear for anyone who is trying to figure out the details of using or not using them.

If you click on this link, I think you will see the back of one of your cards and you can just about make out that your store is named right below the QR Code. In my opinion there is nothing further you need to do. https://www.zazzle.com/z/2adyu74k?rf=238343858620676668

@Windy, once again I owe you my thanks.  I certainly have never noticed that my store name appears beneath the Zazzle QRcode.  I was under the impression that if we chose not to do our own QR code that the "standard Zazzle one would contain the pertinent, albeit, basic info, regarding designer and store.  But at least I now know that there is an credit listed for the store.   I have read all the info presented to us regarding the QR code as well as done some research online.   It just seems confusing to me--thus my saying I could use a "QR coding for Dummies" !  Anyway, thank you much!
