- Ensure that you are using a reliable QR code scanner app. Try installing a different app and see if it works better.
- Check the environment in which you are scanning the QR code. Poor lighting or glare can interfere with the scanner's ability to read the code. Try moving to a different location with better lighting.
- If the QR code contains a URL, make sure the URL is valid and accessible. Try visiting the URL directly in your device's web browser to see if it loads properly.
If you have tried all of these steps and the QR code still doesn't scan correctly, you may need to reach out to Wix support for further assistance.
Remember, testing your QR code is an important step in ensuring its functionality. Take the time to scan and verify your QR code before sharing it with others.
Step 18: Make any necessary adjustments
After generating the QR code with the Wix QR code generator, it's important to review it and make any necessary adjustments before finalizing.
