Create a QR Code for a Venmo Payment Link

Create a free QR code that opens your Venmo profile so people can pay you. No sign up, static codes that never expire, no watermark.

Configure QR Code

Paste your Venmo username with or without the @, or paste your profile link. The code always opens your plain profile page — see the note below on amount and note fields.

How to make it

  1. Find your Venmo username in the app under your profile.
  2. Paste your username or venmo.com profile link into the field above.
  3. Optionally fill in an amount and note below — these are shown for your own reference but are not built into the link (see the FAQ for why).
  4. Check the preview, pick a size, and download the PNG.
  5. Test the code yourself by scanning it and confirming it opens your Venmo profile.

When to use it

Invoices and receipts

Add a code so a customer or roommate can pay you back without searching for your username in the app.

Splitting a shared bill

Share a code at a group meal or event so everyone can find your profile and pay their share in one scan.

Small business and market stall payments

Offer a fast, contactless way to get paid at a craft fair, pop-up shop, or farmers market table.

Fundraisers and tip jars

Put a code next to a physical tip or donation jar for people who prefer to pay from their phone.

Tips

This QR code only opens your profile — it never moves money by itself

Scanning the code takes the payer to your Venmo profile, where they still have to choose an amount and confirm the payment themselves. No money moves until the payer completes that step on their own device.

Why the amount and note are not built into the link

Venmo does not publish a stable, documented way to encode a preset amount or note into a shareable link, and the unofficial parameters some tools use have changed or stopped working over time. Rather than build a code that might silently break, this generator always encodes the plain profile link, which is the durable choice.

Use your Venmo username exactly as it appears in the app

Check the exact spelling and capitalization of your username under your Venmo profile before generating the code, since a mistyped name points to the wrong profile or no profile at all.

Test the code yourself before sharing it

Scan the generated code with your own phone and confirm it opens your correct Venmo profile before printing it or displaying it publicly.

Frequently asked questions

Does this QR code stop working if I change my username?

Yes, for this static code. Your Venmo username 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 username to change; this generator only makes static codes. See our guide on whether QR codes expire.

Can this QR code take money out of my account by itself?

No. The QR code only opens your Venmo profile page. The payer still has to choose an amount and actively confirm the payment in their own Venmo app; nothing is charged or transferred automatically by scanning.

Why doesn’t the amount I entered show up in the QR code?

Venmo’s deep-link parameters for preset amounts are not officially documented and have changed over time, so this generator does not rely on them. The code always points to your plain profile link, which keeps working regardless of any changes Venmo makes to its app.

Does this QR code expire?

No, as long as your username stays the same. It is a static code: your profile link is encoded directly into the image and does not depend on this site or a subscription.

Do I need a Venmo Business profile to make this?

No, a personal Venmo account works the same way. You just need your username, which any Venmo user has by default.

Is it safe to post a payment QR code publicly?

Yes. A Venmo profile link only lets someone find your profile and choose to pay you — the same as if they had searched your username in the app themselves. It does not give anyone access to your account or the ability to withdraw funds.
