Free PayPal QR Code Generator
A PayPal QR code opens your PayPal.Me page or a PayPal payment link, so people can pay you from their phone. It's handy for market stalls, tip jars, freelance invoices, club fees and donations.
Paste your PayPal.Me link (paypal.me/yourname) or another PayPal payment link. You can set up a PayPal.Me link in your PayPal account if you don't have one yet. The payment itself happens on PayPal, so PayPal's usual options and fees apply. PayPal also shows a QR code in its app; a QRdx code is a regular QR code you can style and print at any size.

- Other PayPal links, such as payment buttons or invoice links, work too.
PayPal QR code FAQ
Does QRdx charge anything?
No. The QR code is free; PayPal's own fees apply to payments as usual.
Can I change the amount later?
The amount is part of the link, so a new amount means a new code. Leave the amount out for a reusable code.
Do payers need the PayPal app?
No. PayPal.Me links also open in the browser, where payers log in to PayPal to complete the payment.
