# Product Sharing

> Share products via links and QR codes from your dashboard

## Overview

Share any product directly from your dashboard using a link or QR code. Product sharing generates a direct URL to your product's shop page that you can send to customers, post on social media, or print on marketing materials.

## How to Share a Product

1. Navigate to **Products** in your dashboard
2. Click on a product to open its detail page
3. Click the **Share** button in the header
4. A modal appears with:
   * **Product URL** — Direct link to the product in your shop
   * **QR Code** — Scannable code that opens the product page
   * **Copy Button** — One-click copy to clipboard

<Info>
  The share URL uses your custom domain if configured, otherwise it uses your PayRequest subdomain.
</Info>

## URL Format

**With custom domain:**

```
https://yourdomain.com/product/[product-id]
```

**Without custom domain:**

```
https://payrequest.me/shop/[your-handle]/product/[product-id]
```

## Smart Links vs. Product Sharing

| Feature               | Product Share        | Smart Link                  |
| --------------------- | -------------------- | --------------------------- |
| URL type              | Direct product link  | Custom branded path         |
| Analytics             | No built-in tracking | Views, payments, conversion |
| QR code               | Yes                  | Yes                         |
| Payment limits        | No                   | Yes                         |
| Customizable URL path | No                   | Yes                         |
| Delivery (Email/SMS)  | No                   | Yes                         |

<Tip>
  For marketing campaigns where you need analytics and branded URLs, use [Smart Links](/payment-processing/smart-links) instead. Product sharing is best for quick, one-off sharing needs.
