How to Set Up PayPal QR Code Payments

To set up PayPal QR code payments, open the latest version of the PayPal app and tap the QR code icon near the top-right corner. Select Your code, Get Paid, or Seller QR code, depending on the account and app version. Your unique QR code will appear on the screen for customers to scan. You can also tap the save icon to download the code as an image, then print it or add it to a sign, invoice, website, checkout counter, or product packaging.

PayPal does not charge you to create or share a QR code. However, receiving a commercial payment through a seller QR code may involve a transaction fee. PayPal currently lists its standard U.S. QR code transaction rate as 2.29% plus a fixed fee, although the exact rate can depend on the transaction and account setup. Always review PayPal’s current merchant fee page before accepting payments.
