About PayPal QR Code Generator

A PayPal QR code encodes your PayPal.me link (paypal.me/username or paypal.me/username/10) so anyone can tap to pay you via PayPal. Enter your PayPal.me username and optionally a fixed amount. When scanned, PayPal opens in the browser or app with your payment page. No PayPal business account needed — works with personal accounts too.

Common uses

  • Market stalls and pop-up shops
  • Freelancers and service providers
  • Fundraisers and donation collection
  • Splitting bills at restaurants or events
  • Printed invoices with a payment QR

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a PayPal.me link?
Yes. PayPal.me links are free to create at paypal.com/paypalme. You need a PayPal account. The username in your PayPal.me URL is what you enter in the generator.
Can I set a fixed payment amount?
Yes. Enter an amount and the link becomes paypal.me/username/10, which pre-fills the payment amount. Leave it blank to let the payer choose.
Does the payer need a PayPal account?
PayPal allows some guest checkouts by card, but full functionality requires the payer to have a PayPal account or be logged in.
