Step-by-Step Guide
Choose Payment Method
Select your payment type - PayPal, cryptocurrency wallet, UPI ID, SEPA/EPC bank transfer, or PIX. Enter your payment details.
Tip: PayPal is the most widely accepted globally. For local markets, use UPI (India), PIX (Brazil), or SEPA (Europe).
Add Payment Details
Enter your payment address, amount (optional), and a reference or description for the transaction.
Tip: Pre-fill the amount for fixed-price products or services to reduce customer errors.
Display at Point of Sale
Print and place at checkout counters, invoices, market stalls, or share digitally for online payments.
Tip: Laminate the QR code and use a stand at your counter - it should be visible and scannable from the customer's position.

Why Payment QR Codes Are the Future
Payment QR codes are transforming how small businesses, freelancers, and market vendors accept payments. Instead of expensive card terminals, you just display a QR code. Customers scan with their phone and pay instantly through their preferred payment app. In countries like India (UPI) and China (WeChat/Alipay), QR code payments already dominate. Globally, PayPal and crypto QR payments are growing rapidly.
