# Social Media QR Code

> Create a QR code linking to your social media profiles.

## What it's for

A social media page is a "link in bio"-style hub: one scan lands visitors on a page listing your social profiles (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and similar) plus optional call-to-action buttons — "Watch My Latest Video," "Join My Free Newsletter." It's built for creators, agencies, and personal brands that want a single printable code linking out to everywhere they post, rather than one QR code per platform.

<Note>
  Like every category on this page, "Social Media QR code" isn't a separate creation route — it's the **Build a Page** flow filtered to Social Media–tagged templates.

## Find a social-media template and reach the builder

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Create QR Code and choose Build a Page">
    From **QR Codes → Create QR Code** (`/qr/create`), click the **Build a Page** card to open the block-based page builder's template gallery.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Filter the gallery by Social Media">
    On **Choose a template** (`/qr/new`), click the **Social Media** tag. At verification time there were exactly 2 templates: **Link in Bio** and **Brand Hub**.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Preview and select a template">
    Clicking a card opens a preview panel with the template's name, a short style description, its category tag, and a **Use this template** button. The **Link in Bio** template was used for verification here — described as "Deep dark canvas — a personal creator hub for all your links" and tagged **Social Media**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Land in the page builder">
    Selecting it opens the builder at `/qr/new/landing?template=smedia-link-in-bio`. This template ships with 7 blocks: **Company Branding**, **Page Title**, **Description**, three **Button** blocks (e.g. "Watch My Latest Video," "Join My Free Newsletter," "Book a 1:1 Mentoring Call"), and **Social Profiles** — all editable from the left-hand blocks panel.

    </Frame>

    <Check>
      Reaching this canvas confirms the flow — you don't need to publish to verify it works. Edit the profile text, button links, and social profile URLs, then use **Publish** from the top bar when the page is ready.
    </Check>
  </Step>

## Creating one via the API

To create a social-media-style QR code through the API rather than the UI, use category ID `15` (labeled **Social Media**) — see [Create QR Code](/v1/api-reference/endpoint/qr_manager/create) for the full request schema and [Category List](/v1/api-reference/references/category-list) for the complete ID-to-label mapping.
