After scanning, tap Continue to add the cellular plan.
You may be asked to label your plan (e.g., "Travel" or "GoConnect"). Choose a name and tap Continue.
Wait a few moments for activation to complete.
Go back to Settings → Cellular → Select your new eSIM plan.
Turn on Data Roaming for the eSIM.

Use this method if you don't have a second device to display the QR code, or if scanning isn't working properly.
Open Settings → Cellular → Add eSIM
Instead of scanning, tap "Enter Details Manually" at the bottom of the screen.
Find the activation code in your GoConnect email (it's a long string starting with "LPA:").
