Domains

Connect branded domains or subdomains, verify DNS, and make them available for QR code traffic.

Domains let you move QR codes onto branded links instead of relying only on the default organization option.

Add a Domain

Open the Domains page and select Add domain.

Enter the hostname or subdomain you want to use.

Add the DNS records GeoQR shows you exactly as written.

Wait for the domain to become active before you assign it to an important live QR code.

Most teams use a dedicated subdomain for QR codes rather than their main website root, because it is easier to manage and test safely.

Best first setup:

Start with a subdomain you control, such as qr.yourbrand.com, and wait until it is fully active before assigning it to an important live QR code.

Examples many teams prefer:

  • qr.yourbrand.com
  • go.yourbrand.com
  • scan.yourbrand.com

What GeoQR May Ask You To Add

Depending on the domain state, GeoQR may show:

  • a CNAME record
  • a TXT verification record
  • a GeoQR TXT ownership claim record when GeoQR must confirm that your workspace controls the domain before provisioning continues

Add those records exactly as shown in your DNS provider.

When the Domain Becomes Usable

After the DNS records are added correctly, the domain moves into an active state and becomes available for QR codes.

This can take a little time depending on DNS propagation and certificate setup.

Until the domain is active, keep using an available domain option in your QR drafts.

Do not switch an important live QR to a branded domain until that domain is fully active and tested.

On the Domains page, GeoQR also shows the current status, how many QR codes are linked to the domain, and when it was last checked.

Common Domain Questions

What To Do Next

When the domain becomes active:

  1. open an existing QR code or create a new one
  2. select the domain in the QR flow
  3. publish and test the QR again
