Normally the site URL is somehow like https://<Chat Domain>/<Sitename>, but it is difficult for the mobile devices to input that much long URL manually in the small screen and keyboard. To improve the user friendly, QRCode is useful for mobile devices for scanning. The QRCode can be placed in the website, print on the hardcopies and advertises, event on the T-shrits. The following is an example
In the section the owner can build the QRCode for the site with different style.
① The image used in the center of the QRCode
② The QRCode size, there is no limitation of the size but it is not suggested to use the size which is greater than 1000, as it is difficult to fit in the surrounding environment
③Adjust the margin width of the QRCode (The blue area in the snapshot below)
④ Supports three corners type
⑤ Change the corners color
⑥ Supports six dot style (Zoom in to see the difference, please)
When the QRCode adjustment is completed and feel satisfied, download and save the QRCode, attached to the website or print on the advertises
