In the value field, enter the JoyQR URL that you want to point your subdomain to. For example, if your JoyQR URL is "yourusername.joyqr.com", enter that in the value field. Save the new CNAME record.
Wait for the DNS changes to propagate. This can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours depending on your hosting provider and DNS settings.

Once the DNS changes have propagated, you should be able to access your JoyQR account using your custom subdomain. For example, if you created a CNAME record for "qr.yourdomain.com", you should be able to access your JoyQR account by visiting "qr.yourdomain.com" in your web browser.

Creating a CNAME record is a simple way to create custom subdomains for your JoyQR account. By using a custom subdomain, you can create a branded experience for your users and make it easier for them to access your QR codes.
