Sharing your site

A site nobody visits is not much use. Qshot gives you four ways to hand your address to someone.

The QR code screen​

Tap the QR button under your site on the home screen.

The QR code screen

Your address sits above the code, and the Qshot mark sits in the middle of it. Point any phone camera at it and the site opens.

ControlWhat it does
Share OfflineEncodes your details inside the code so it works with no internet
Add to Google WalletSaves the card to the phone's wallet
Add to WatchSends it to a paired smartwatch
ShareThe phone's normal share sheet
Customize QR CodeThe designer — see below
Copy Card LinkCopies the address to the clipboard

:::tip What "Share Offline" actually changes Normally the QR holds a link, so the scanner needs internet to open it. Turned on, your basic details travel inside the code itself — useful at a trade stand or anywhere the signal is poor. :::

The share button hands the link to Android's share sheet — WhatsApp, Messages, Drive, or Copy link.

Designing the QR code​

Customize QR Code opens a two-step flow.

The QR data screen

Both fields are required. The Next button does nothing while the name is empty — with no error message, which makes it look broken.

:::warning Fill in the name field If Next seems dead, the name field above the URL is empty. That is the only reason. :::

Step 2 — the designer​

Five tabs across the bottom, and a live preview above them.

Presets​

The preset gallery

Fourteen ready-made looks — Classic, Blob, Tricolor, Candy, Sunset, Ocean, Forest, Neon, Midnight, Gold, Ticket, Badge, Label, Scanner. Tap one to apply it, then adjust from there.

Colors​

The colour tools

Three surfaces can be coloured separately:

SurfaceWhat it is
Code backgroundThe panel behind the code
ModulesThe dots and bars that carry the data
EyesThe three corner squares — Same as modules by default

Gradients paint whichever surface you have selected.

Frames​

The frame gallery

Borders and "SCAN ME" style labels around the code.

Shape​

The shape tools

Six module shapes: Square, Circle, Rounded, Smooth, Classy, Tile.

The logo tools

Puts a mark in the middle of the code — the Qshot logo, or your own image.

:::danger Test before you print Heavy colours, low contrast, or a large logo can make a code unscannable. The app blocks Save when it detects that — but a code that just passes on screen can still fail on paper.

Scan the finished code with a different phone before you print anything. :::
