## Fastest Way To Ship One QR [#fastest-way-to-ship-one-qr]

<Steps>
  <Step>
    Use [Create a QR Code](/docs/qr-codes/create-a-qr-code) to choose quick create when you have one clear destination and a ready domain.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Apply the default look or a saved [Design Template](/docs/qr-codes/design-templates), then review the QR on the edit screen.
  </Step>

  <Step>
    Scan the live code on a real device before sharing or printing it.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Common Decisions [#common-decisions]

<Accordions type="single">
  <Accordion title="Should I add country-specific routing on the first version?">
    Usually no. Start with one default destination in [Create a QR Code](/docs/qr-codes/create-a-qr-code), then add [Destination Rules](/docs/qr-codes/destination-rules) only when you know the regional behavior you need.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="When should I use quick create instead of the guided flow?">
    Use quick create when the QR needs one default destination and can go live immediately. Use the guided flow when you want a draft, country-specific routing, or a slower review before publishing.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="When should I stop editing and publish?">
    Publish once the serving domain, destination, and scan test all look correct. Use [Publish and Share](/docs/qr-codes/publish-and-share) as the pre-launch checklist.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Where do branded domains and media fit in?">
    Set up [Domains](/docs/domains) before you need branded links, and keep reusable assets in [Media](/docs/media) before you start the design step.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What does a design template change?">
    A template changes the QR appearance only. It keeps the current name, domain, default destination, and country-specific destination rules.
