Guide
PayPal QR codes: what to know before you print
A PayPal QR code opens your PayPal.Me page. Customers can choose the amount and pay.
Tips for better results
- Add an amount to the link, such as paypal.me/name/25, to pre-fill it.
- Keep the page name short.
- Test it with a small payment.
A common mistake
Assuming the code is a payment terminal. It only opens a link; the payer completes the payment.
FAQ
PayPal QR codes, explained
How do I make a PayPal QR code?
Enter your PayPal.Me link in the generator above. The code is created instantly. Style the colors, shapes and center icon if you like, then download it as PNG or SVG.
What do I put in the box?
Your PayPal.Me name (the part after paypal.me/) or the full link. You can append an amount to the link, for example paypal.me/yourname/25, to pre-fill it.
Does the QR code pay automatically?
No. It opens your PayPal.Me page and the payer confirms the amount and payment themselves.
Is this an official PayPal QR code?
No. BestQR is independent and not affiliated with PayPal. The code simply encodes your public PayPal.Me link, so it works anywhere a normal link does.
Is it really free, with no watermark?
Yes. There is no sign-up, no watermark and no expiry. Every code you download is yours to use anywhere, including commercial print.
Can I add my own logo?
Yes. In the Center icon control, choose the upload option and add a PNG or SVG. The generator raises the error-correction level automatically so the code stays reliably scannable.
PNG or SVG — which should I download?
PNG (2048px) is perfect for screens and everyday prints. SVG is a vector file that stays sharp at any size, so choose it for large signs, banners or professional printing.
