Medium
Recommended for most PayPal QR codes and provides a practical balance between density and scan reliability.
Quartile
Useful when the QR code contains a small logo or may experience minor damage or obstruction.

PayPal QR Code Safety and Best Practices
Verify the PayPal.Me destination and test the final QR code before adding it to invoices, payment counters, packaging or printed materials.
Verify your PayPal.Me username
Open the PayPal.Me link and confirm that it belongs to the correct account before downloading or sharing the QR code.
Check PayPal.Me availability
PayPal.Me availability and supported payment features can vary by country, account and PayPal service availability.
Test the QR code before publishing
Scan the final QR code and confirm that it opens the intended PayPal payment page.
Verify fixed amounts and currency
Confirm that the amount and currency shown on the PayPal page match the payment you intended to request.
Do not treat a scan as payment confirmation
Scanning only opens the payment page. Confirm completed transactions inside your PayPal account.
Use a clear call to action
Add text such as Scan to Pay with PayPal so users understand the purpose of the QR code.
Maintain strong colour contrast
Use a dark QR code on a light background whenever possible to improve scan reliability.
Avoid oversized logos
Keep the centre logo small enough that it does not cover important QR code modules.
Keep clear space around the QR code
Maintain sufficient empty space around the QR code and avoid placing text or graphics too close to it.
Use the correct download format
Use PNG for regular digital sharing and SVG or PDF when the QR code will be resized or professionally printed.
Regenerate when payment details change
Create a new QR code whenever the PayPal.Me username, amount or currency changes.
Follow PayPal account requirements
Use the payment link only for transactions permitted under your PayPal account and applicable rules.
Important PayPal Payment Note
This tool creates a static QR code containing the PayPal.Me link generated from the details you enter. It does not verify the PayPal account, process payments or receive transaction status. Always confirm the recipient, amount, currency and completed transaction inside PayPal.
