A Facebook QR code turns the link to your page, group, or event into a square people scan with a phone camera. Paste the link above, download the PNG, and place it where your neighbors, customers, or members already are. The three link types behave differently once someone scans, so it pays to pick the right one first.

A group link works for clubs, neighborhood associations, and classes. If the group is private, scanners will send a request to join and an admin has to approve them, so say that on the sign.
An event link is useful, but it has a shelf life, and a printed code cannot be edited, so keep event codes off anything meant to last past the date.
The best spots are the ones where people wait: the front window, the checkout counter, a delivery bag, or the bottom of a receipt. Add a plain reason to scan, such as "Follow us for weekly menu updates" or "Join our neighborhood group."
Some visitors will be asked to log in before Facebook shows them anything. Print your page name in words right beside the code so they can look you up later if they do not want to sign in on the spot.
Renaming a page or changing its web address can change the link, so settle on your name before printing.
Page settings such as country or age restrictions can turn some scanners away, so check them before you print. To judge whether the code is working, watch your page followers or ask new customers how they heard about you.
If someone else manages the page for you, ask them to confirm the final link before anything is printed.
Open your page, use the Share option, and copy the link. You can also copy the address from your browser's address bar while viewing the page. If your page has a short custom address, use that one, because a shorter link makes a simpler code.
Yes. Copy the group's link and use it for the code. Scanners will land on the group, and if it is private they will be asked to request access. Group admins decide who gets in, so the code alone does not let anyone join.
Scanning needs only a phone camera. Facebook itself may ask the person to log in before showing some content, so print your page name next to the code as a backup.
It keeps opening the event page, but scanners will see an event that has already happened. Use a Page or group link on anything printed to last, and save event codes for signs and flyers that come down after the date.
