# Get paid to your handle

> Turn @you into a way to get paid. X1ID gives every handle a QR code and a shareable payment link, so anyone can pay you by scanning or tapping — no copying a long address.

# Get paid to your handle

Once your handle points at an address, `@you` becomes something people can pay in a tap. Every handle gets a **QR code** and a **shareable payment link** — no one ever has to copy a wallet address again.

  <Card title="A QR code to scan" icon="qrcode">
    Your handle's payment page shows a QR of your X1 address. Any Solana-format wallet can scan it and pay you — hold it up at a table, put it on a screen, print it on a flyer.
  </Card>

  <Card title="A link to share" icon="paper-plane">
    Copy your payment link or hit share, and send it in a message, a bio, or an invoice. Tapping it opens a payment to `@you`.

## How to get paid

<Steps>
  <Step title="Link a payment address">
    Add your X1 address to your handle (see [Claim your handle](/get-started)). That's the address your QR and link point at — until it's set, they wait quietly rather than sending anyone to the wrong place.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open your handle's payment page">
    Your handle page shows your QR code, your address with a one-tap copy button, and the buttons to copy or share your payment link.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Share it any way you like">
    Show the QR to pay in person, or send the link online. Optionally set an **amount** first and it's carried in the link, so the payer sees exactly what to send.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Because the link and QR are tied to your **handle**, they keep working for as long as `@you` is yours. Change which address receives, and the same link and code follow — no need to reprint or re-share.
</Tip>

<Note>
  Your QR encodes your plain X1 address, so wallets can scan it today. The payment link carries `@you` (plus any amount you set) — a smart wallet re-checks the handle when it's opened, so a shared link always resolves to the current `@you` rather than a stale address.
</Note>
