Add a code to a paper invoice or receipt so a customer can pay you back or settle a balance without typing your name into an app.
Print or display a code with a preset amount at a group dinner or event so everyone can pay their share in one scan.
Give clients a fast way to pay for a service on the spot, at a market stall, craft fair, or pop-up shop.
Offer a contactless option next to a physical donation box for people who do not carry cash.
Scanning the code takes the payer to your PayPal.Me page, where they still choose to enter or confirm an amount and tap to send it. No money moves until the payer completes that step on their own device.
Entering an amount above builds it into the link, so PayPal.Me pre-fills that number, but the payer can still change it before sending. Do not rely on the amount field to prevent someone from paying a different amount.
Double-check the spelling and capitalization of your PayPal.Me name in your PayPal settings before generating the code, since a mistyped name points to the wrong page or no page at all.
Scan the generated code with your own phone and confirm it opens the correct PayPal.Me page with the amount you expect, before printing it or setting it out for customers.
Yes, for this static code. Your PayPal.Me name is encoded directly into the link, so a printed code keeps pointing to the old name if you change it. A dynamic QR code is the option if you expect your payment name to change; this generator only makes static codes. See our guide on whether QR codes expire.
No. The QR code only opens your PayPal.Me payment page in the payer’s browser or app. The payer has to review the amount and actively confirm the payment; nothing is charged or transferred automatically by scanning.
No, as long as your PayPal.Me name stays the same. It is a static code: the link is encoded directly into the image and does not depend on this site or a subscription.
No, a personal PayPal account can create a PayPal.Me link too. You need that link before using this generator, since this tool builds a QR code from a link you already have rather than creating the payment link itself.
No, a static code cannot be edited after printing. If you need a different amount, generate and print a new code, or leave the amount field blank so the payer enters their own amount on the PayPal.Me page.
Yes. A PayPal.Me link only lets someone send you money — the same as if they had typed your PayPal.Me name into a browser themselves. It does not give anyone access to your account or the ability to withdraw funds.
