Publish and Share

Publishing makes your QR code live and ready to share.

Before you print:

Do at least one real-device scan test before printing or sharing widely. A QR that looks good in the editor can still fail if the destination, contrast, or logo treatment is off.

Before You Publish

Check these items:

• the QR has the correct name
• the serving domain is correct
• the default destination works
• any country-specific rules are correct
• the design scans reliably

What Publishing Changes

After publishing:

• the QR becomes live
• the destination rules are used when people scan
• Analytics starts showing scan activity once scans happen

Before You Print or Share Widely

Do a real-world check first:

1. Scan the QR from another device.
2. Try it in normal lighting.
3. Confirm the destination opens quickly.
4. If you added a logo or frame, make sure the code still scans reliably.

Re-Test After Changes

If you later change the destination, domain, media, or QR styling, test again before sharing the updated QR widely.

Sharing Your QR Code

Before you share widely:

1. Scan the QR yourself.
2. Confirm the correct destination opens.
3. Confirm the design works on real devices.
4. If you use country rules, test them as much as practical.

If Publishing Does Not Work

Common reasons include:

• missing required information
• invalid destination setup
• a destination that needs attention before GeoQR will allow it to go live

If the QR editor itself is unavailable or key actions are locked, check whether your organization has billing access and whether your role allows the action.

After You Publish

Once the QR is live, a good next step is to:

1. watch for early scan activity in Analytics
2. keep an eye on Notifications
3. return to the QR later if you need to update the destination or design
