In short

  • You receive money with a payment request link
  • You cannot put a bank account number in a QR code
  • Create the payment request with your bank
  • Copy that link and paste it into the "Payment request URL" field
  • Payment requests expire after a while, your QR code keeps working
  • You can replace the payment request link with a new one later
Note: you're better off choosing a dynamic QR code, type Receive money for more options when receiving money via a QR code. A payment link expires, which means your QR code will stop working.

In short

3 Choose the style of your QR Code
The code gets no background of its own, so you can place it on anything.
The frame around your logo becomes transparent as well. If you want a solid patch there, switch on "Custom frame color" under the logo.
None (transparent)
Makes the code's blocks semi-transparent. This does not make the background transparent — use "Transparent background" for that.
.jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, .webp, .svg allowed. 10 MB maximum.
Removes the modules behind the logo for a cleaner look (recommended). With a transparent background the cut-out itself is transparent too.
Pick your own color for the frame around the logo — for example to keep a white frame on an otherwise transparent QR code.
Quality set to 30% automatically — a logo covers part of the code. You can change this yourself.
.jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, .webp, .svg allowed. 10 MB maximum.
Upload a background image first to use this mode.
.jpg, .jpeg, .png, .gif, .webp, .svg allowed. 10 MB maximum.

Everything you need to create and use QR codes

QR codes share information quickly. They can point to websites, open menus, show contact info, start downloads or send messages. Businesses use them for ticket sales, marketing, customer service and product tracking.
An online tool that creates QR codes. You turn a link, contact info, message, WiFi password or location into a scannable code. Download the code, print it or share it digitally. Anyone with a smartphone can scan it in seconds.
QR codes remove the need to type long addresses or numbers. That saves time and reduces mistakes. Use them on posters, brochures, menus, business cards and packaging. They are quick to make, free to use and work on most phones.

Where should you place the QR code?

Good placement gives better response. Here are the best spots.

Product packaging

A QR code on the packaging keeps the connection with the customer after purchase. Link to user guides, installation videos or step-by-step guides. Also works for warranties, upsells or loyalty programs.

Receipts or invoices

The receipt is a great moment to engage the customer. The QR code can lead to a feedback form, discount coupons or a digital receipt. It can also send customers to a loyalty program.

Posters and flyers

Printed ads have limited space. A QR code sends people to your website, event registration or a short video. Turns passive glancing into action.

Storefront windows

The QR code in the window also works when the shop is closed. Show the menu, contact info, opening hours or the online shop. Catch the interest of passers-by day and night.

Business cards

A business card has limited space. A QR code can link to a digital business card, LinkedIn, booking page, portfolio or resume. A quick way for others to follow up or learn more about you.

Menus and table signs

QR codes on the table let customers browse menus, order or check allergen info without printed menus. Suitable for restaurants, cafes and bars that want to offer a faster experience.
