PayPal QR Codes
What is a PayPal QR Code?
A PayPal QR code opens a secure PayPal checkout link with your payment details pre‑filled. Customers scan and pay in seconds – no cash, no card terminal, and no typing long URLs.
How PayPal QR Codes work
QRUpp creates a PayPal payment link with your chosen parameters (payment type, amount, currency, title, return/cancel URLs). When scanned, users land on PayPal to complete the transaction.
