PayPal QR Code — Accept PayPal Payments via QR

A PayPal QR code lets anyone pay you through PayPal by scanning. Works for in-person sales, online invoices, and donation collection worldwide. Create one at QRMax.

What It Does

The QR code links to your PayPal.me page or PayPal payment link. When scanned, it opens PayPal (app or web) where the payer can complete the transaction with their PayPal balance, card, or bank account.

How to Create a PayPal QR Code

1. Choose "PayPal" type — Open QRMax and select PayPal payment.
2. Enter your PayPal details — Add your PayPal.me link or email, and optionally set an amount.
3. Customize & download — Brand the QR code, then export for print or digital use.

Practical Tips

• Use PayPal.me links — They're cleaner and let you set a suggested amount in the URL.
• Offer multiple payment QRs — Display PayPal alongside UPI or crypto QRs to give customers options.
• Set up PayPal business account — Business accounts have lower fees and better reporting for merchant transactions.

Does the scanner need a PayPal account?

For PayPal.me links, yes. However, PayPal checkout links can accept guest payments via credit/debit card without an account.

Can I set a fixed payment amount?

Yes. PayPal.me URLs support an amount parameter (e.g., paypal.me/yourname/25) that pre-fills the payment amount.

Which countries support PayPal QR payments?

PayPal operates in over 200 countries. The payer and recipient both need PayPal accounts in supported regions.
