Place QR Share and Referral Links
How the place QR share card works, what Copy link, Download PNG, and Print are for, and how referral-carrying place links fit into in-store onboarding.
Where you see this in the app
This page documents the QR code for visitors card on a place page.

QR code for visitors actions
The QR share card is meant for in-store or venue-side distribution.
Its purpose is straightforward:
- help visitors start the place flow quickly,
- make it easy to reuse the same place link in signage or handouts,
- keep the onboarding path consistent across physical and digital sharing.
Copy link, PNG, and print
Each action supports a different distribution mode.
| Action | Best use |
|---|---|
Copy link | Sharing digitally in messages, social posts, or dashboards |
Download PNG | Adding the QR to flyers, posters, or venue graphics |
Print | Fast paper-ready handoff without extra design work |
The QR share card is intentionally operational, not ornamental.
What the shared link is for
The shared place link is not just a generic landing-page URL.
It is designed to start the place-specific check-in or onboarding flow for that venue.
That is why the generated title and QR copy focus on starting quick check-in in the product, not simply visiting a public page.
How referral-carrying links fit in
Place flows can also carry referral and UTM context.
From an end-user documentation standpoint, that means:
- the place link can preserve attribution context,
- onboarding can still happen through the same place flow,
- venue QR sharing and referral attribution are compatible rather than separate systems.
