PayPal.Me QR code generator
A PayPal.Me link opens a page where someone can send you money. Put it in a QR code and a customer at your stall or a friend splitting a bill can reach it in one scan. This tool only encodes your link; it never touches payments.

Templates are hand-built style presets (colors, gradients, dot and eye shapes), not AI art. They keep your logo, frame, shape and transparency, and every one is dark ink on a light background with at least 4.5:1 contrast. The scan check above still judges your final design.
Full design is free — no account, no watermark, no expiry. Free plan: 10 downloads a day.

- 2

Paste it here; the code will open https://paypal.me/<handle>.

Scan the finished code with a second phone and confirm your own name appears before printing.
Frequently asked questions
Can I preset an amount?
Not here. The code always opens your plain PayPal.Me page, and the payer chooses the amount.
What if I mistype my handle?
The code would send people to someone else's page. Test it, and treat it like printing a bank account number: check it twice. This tool never holds or moves money.
Does the code expire?
No. It is static, so it works as long as your PayPal.Me link does.
