A Payment QR code opens your payment page at PayPal, Stripe, Cash App or another provider. GetQR only sends people to your link: the payment itself happens on your provider’s page.

​
Before you start

  • Create a payment link with your provider, for example a PayPal.Me link or a Stripe payment link.
  • Copy the full link.
GetQR doesn’t process payments or see your transactions. Refunds, payouts and disputes are handled in your provider’s account.

​

What people see when they scan

There is no GetQR page in between. The phone opens your payment link, so people see your provider’s checkout or payment page. With a PayPal amount, PayPal opens with that amount filled in. The payer can still change it before paying. Because the code points to a GetQR short link, you can switch to a new payment link later without reprinting. Every scan is counted in your statistics.

​
Use cases

  • Accept tips and donations at events, in cafés or on stage.
  • Let customers pay invoices or deposits from a printed bill.
  • Sell at markets and pop-up stores without a card terminal.
  • Collect a fixed fee, such as an entry ticket, with a pre-filled PayPal amount.

​
Common issues

Pick an option in Payment provider. If your provider isn’t listed, pick Other.
Payment link is empty. Paste the link to your payment page.
The link isn’t a valid web address, or GetQR couldn’t reach the page. Copy the link again from your provider and open it in a browser to check it works.
Amount (optional) and Currency only appear when Payment provider is PayPal. For other providers, set the amount when you create the payment link in your provider’s account.
Use digits only, with up to two decimals, for example 10 or 10.50. The amount must be greater than 0.
Pre-filled amounts only work with PayPal.Me links, such as https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/yourname. Other PayPal links open without an amount.
GetQR doesn’t handle payments. Contact your payment provider. For questions about your GetQR subscription, see the Help Center.
