How to use QR codes for payment links
Cash keeps falling; payment QRs meet people where they already have their phone. Dynamic links protect you when gateways change fees or you rotate accounts.
Built for small businesses and creators.
Do this in order
- Generate a payment link from your processor with clear memo text.
- Encode in a high-contrast QR; test under register lighting.
- Post signage that states currency and any fees customers should expect.
- If you rotate accounts seasonally, update the dynamic QR instead of reprinting stickers.
Common placements
- UPI payments
- invoice settlement
- tip collection
Trust at the counter
- Match business name on receipts and payment page.
- Never use URL shorteners that hide the destination for money flows.
