When to use a paypal QR code
- Market stalls and craft fairs
- Freelancers invoicing in person
- Donation boxes at events and clubs
- Small shops without a card machine
Before you print
Set up a PayPal.Me link first
It is far shorter than a raw payment URL, which makes a cleaner code, and people recognise the domain when it opens.
You can fix the amount in the link
Adding the amount to your PayPal.Me link pre-fills it. Good for a set price, less good for a variable bill.
Check the fees before you rely on it
PayPal takes a cut of business payments. On small amounts that percentage matters, so know the number before you print a code you will use daily.
Common questions
Do customers need a PayPal account?
Usually not — PayPal lets people pay by card as a guest in most countries, though this varies.
Is this the same as PayPal's own QR code?
PayPal's in-app code is tied to their scanner. This is a standard QR code that any camera opens, which is more flexible for print.
