Do I need to do any kind of merging of apps to use the barcode scanner in the short cut to scan items with with square?....or will me scanning the barcode using the short cut work like any other bar code reader.?

    I found that you can make a QR code from the google chrome browser. Once you are at the site, just tap that share button (with the arrow pointing up for iPhone), select “Create a QR code” (about 5 options down) and it will instantly create one to share.

My issue is that if someone is watching the live stream on their phone, they are not able to scan the QR code so I was wondering if there was a way to make a QR code that is touchable so that when watching they can tap or touch the QR code rather than scan. Any help would be appreciated

      The short answer is yes, I found a shortcut that can let it connect to your Wi-Fi using a QR code. I don't remember if I saved it on one of my devices, but if I did, I'll put the link to it later today.

    • @Ces37

      If the link doesn't work, let me know. I'll tell you the steps to follow. You can change the last option from show results to something else, if you want to be able to share the QR code. Right now, it will only show it, and have an option that says done.
