From scan to response
Turn an official PayPal link into a scannable payment route
A Qraftt code opens the PayPal destination you provide. It can help customers reach a payment profile or checkout flow, but every payment action and confirmation remains inside PayPal.
Use it for business payments
Add the design to invoices, counter signs, menus, flyers, business cards, or other printed materials. Clearly state what the payment is for and let customers review the PayPal page.
Keep PayPal and Qraftt roles clear
Qraftt creates a static link QR code. It does not use PayPal APIs, process payments, verify transactions, receive money, or know whether a customer completes checkout.
Download and test the complete flow
Export PNG for common documents or SVG for scalable print. Scan the final file on a phone and check the app handoff, recipient, amount, currency, login prompt, and printed size without submitting payment.
Before you publish
How PayPal QR payment links work
Qraftt validates an official PayPal.Me, checkout, donation, payment, or hosted-button URL and stores it directly in the static QR code. PayPal controls the recipient, amount and currency options, account requirements, regional availability, fees, and transaction completion.
Choose the right PayPal link
Use PayPal.Me for a personal or business payment destination, or paste an official checkout, donation, payment, or hosted-button URL created for the intended transaction flow.
Confirm fixed or editable amounts
Some PayPal links include a fixed or suggested amount while others let the payer enter or change it. Qraftt preserves the validated URL and does not set, calculate, or enforce the amount.
Check currency and recipient
Verify the displayed recipient, amount, currency, payment purpose, and seller or donation context in PayPal. Currency support, conversion, fees, and eligibility vary by account and country.
Expect app, browser, and login behavior
A scan may open the PayPal app, a mobile browser, an app chooser, or a login screen depending on the device. PayPal can require an account, while guest checkout may be offered only for eligible recipients and transactions.
Account for regional availability
Payment features, currencies, funding methods, guest checkout, buyer protections, and account capabilities differ by country and PayPal account status. Test with the audience's likely region and device.
Troubleshoot before printing
Check malformed or unsupported PayPal URLs, wrong recipients, expired or disabled links, account limitations, currency or country restrictions, login walls, failed app handoffs, and browser or device issues. Verify the flow without submitting a transaction.
Choose another commercial destination
Use the URL QR code generator, Amazon QR code generator, App Store QR code generator, or the Google Review QR code generator for customer feedback.

Helpful answers
PayPal QR Generator FAQ
Clear answers to the questions people usually ask before creating and sharing this type of QR code.
Does Qraftt process the payment?
No. Qraftt only places your validated PayPal URL in a static QR code. The person scanning reviews and completes any transaction on PayPal.
Which PayPal links can I use?
The generator accepts official PayPal.Me links and recognized PayPal payment, checkout, donation, or hosted-button URLs. It rejects unrelated domains and non-payment PayPal pages.
Does scanning charge someone automatically?
No. A scan only opens the PayPal destination. The payer must confirm the recipient, amount, payment type, and funding method within PayPal.
Are PayPal fees included or changed by Qraftt?
No. Any availability, account requirements, fees, buyer protections, or transaction terms are determined by PayPal and the parties to the payment.
Do I need a PayPal account to open or use the QR code?
You do not need an account to scan or open the QR code. Completing the payment may require a PayPal login, although guest checkout can be available for some recipients, transaction types, countries, currencies, and funding methods at PayPal's discretion.
What happens if the payment link changes after printing?
The static QR code keeps the original PayPal URL. If the recipient replaces, disables, or changes the payment destination, create a new QR code and replace the printed version.
Why does my PayPal QR code not open or complete the payment flow?
Check for a malformed or unsupported PayPal URL, wrong recipient, expired or disabled link, account limitation, unsupported currency or country, login wall, app handoff problem, or browser and device issue. Test the exact PayPal flow without completing a payment before printing again.
How do I generate a QR code for PayPal?
Copy a supported official PayPal link, paste it into Qraftt, and verify the destination shown by PayPal. Customize the design, download PNG or SVG, and test the exported file before sharing it.
Can I use a PayPal QR code to receive money?
Yes—when the encoded PayPal link is a valid payment destination for the intended recipient. The payer still reviews and approves the transaction in PayPal, and Qraftt never receives or confirms the funds.
Is this the same as a QR code created inside PayPal?
No—Qraftt turns a supported PayPal URL into a general static QR code. PayPal’s own QR products, account features, eligibility rules, transaction tools, and support remain separate.
