Sharing a PayPal link by hand is slow and error-prone, and not everyone wants to type it. A PayPal QR code links to your PayPal.Me page or payment request so a customer scans, enters or confirms the amount, and sends it instantly. It suits freelancers, stalls, charities and anyone who wants a trusted way to get paid without hardware.

For PayPal QR code, start with a stable link or fixed details people will understand at a glance. The QR code you create here does not expire and does not add tracking from us.
