Why a PayPal QR code
Cash is scarce and card terminals cost money to rent, which is a problem for market stalls, tutors and small sellers. A PayPal QR code opens your PayPal.Me page on the buyer's phone, where they type the amount and confirm. Since only your PayPal.Me name sits behind the code, one sign covers every price on the table.
- Opens payment with your account already selected.
- The payer enters the amount, so one code covers every price.
- Accepts payment without card terminal hardware.
- Buyers pay with a service they already trust.
Markets and stalls
A printed code takes card-free payments with no terminal to rent.
Invoices
A code on the invoice removes the step of typing account details.
Donations
Supporters give on the spot instead of promising to do it later.
Tutors and coaches
A code on the lesson plan or class sign-up sheet collects session fees without chasing bank transfers.
Shared costs
A code on the team noticeboard collects contributions for gifts, kit or travel.

PayPal QR Code Generator | Fast Payments via PayPal.Me
A PayPal QR code opens your PayPal.Me page, where the payer enters the amount and pays with their PayPal balance, bank account or card. It suits personal transfers and small sellers who do not run an online checkout.
What is this QR code?
The code links to your PayPal.Me address. The payer chooses the amount on PayPal's page, so the same printed code works for any price.
Best use cases
- ✓A freelancer's quick payment link for services without issuing a formal invoice.
- ✓A charity collection where supporters choose how much to give.
- ✓Splitting a cafe bill among friends via PayPal.Me.
- ✓Paying for a secondhand item on a marketplace without card conversion fees.
How to generate your QR code
Create or look up your PayPal.Me name in your PayPal account.
Enter the name, or paste the full paypal.me link, into the form.
Print the price next to the code, because the payer enters the amount.
Make a small test payment from another account before you rely on it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the payer need a PayPal account?
The recipient needs a PayPal account, but in some countries the payer can pay by card without registering.
Do I need a business account?
Personal accounts can receive payments, but a business account is better suited to regular sales.
Who pays the fees?
PayPal fees apply as they normally do for your account type — the QR code does not change them.
Can I set the amount in advance?
Not with this code: it opens your PayPal.Me page and the payer types the amount. Show the price next to the code so nobody has to ask.
What do I enter when creating the code?
Your PayPal.Me name, such as yourname, or the full paypal.me/yourname link. Set up PayPal.Me in your PayPal account first if you have not done so.
How do I know someone has paid?
PayPal notifies you in its app and by email. Ask buyers to show the confirmation screen before they leave the stall.
Can I change the receiving account later?
Yes. Replace the PayPal.Me name in your dashboard and the printed signs start sending payments to the new account.
