  • Updated

Use this guide to create a PayPal QR Code using the Scanova QR Code Generator. 

A PayPal QR Code allows you to receive payments via PayPal using a QR Code. When a PayPal QR Code is scanned, it redirects users to the PayPal payment page with company info, product name, and amount.

Here is how to create a PayPal QR Code using the Scanova QR Code Generator:

  • Login to your Scanova account. If you are a new user, you can  for a 14-day free trial account
  • Once you have logged in, go to the Create QR Code section from the left sidebar
  • From the list of options available, choose PayPal QR Code. Alternatively, you can search for this QR Code category using Quick Search on the top-right (use keyword 'document')
  • In the screen that opens, you're required to enter the details which include:
    • PayPal account email address
    • Item Description
    • Item Product Code (Optional)
    • Item Value
    • Currency
  • You can check the preview of the landing page (the page that appears on scanning the QR Code) on the right-hand side
  • Once all the information is entered and the preview is checked, click on Continue
  • You will be redirected to the Create QR Code screen. In this screen, you need to specify additional details of the QR Code
  • Give your QR Code a Name
  • [Optional] You can add a Tag (or label) to the QR Code. Tags allow you to categorize your QR Codes, which can be helpful in searching them quickly
  • This QR Code type can be either Dynamic or Static.
    • If it is Dynamic then the QR Code is editable and trackable. Note that an ongoing subscription is required for Dynamic QR Codes to work beyond the free trial. See: Plans & Pricing
    • If you choose Static then the contents of the QR Code can't be edited after the creation. Also, it will not be trackable
  • [Optional] You will also see options for advanced settings if you choose the Dynamic option, such as Customize Short URL, Lead Generation, Exact GPS Location, and Password-Protection. Note that these options are only available to advanced users (Standard/Pro depending on feature)
  • Proceed to click on Create QR Code to generate your QR Code
  • Your QR Code will be generated and you can view its details. 
  • By default, the QR Code design is standard black-and-white. If you wish to add a design (colors, patterns, logo), click on 'Edit Design'
  • You can either design or directly download the QR Code image. Always test your QR Code before downloading the final image
  • On clicking Download, you will be able to choose the image format (PNG, JPG, SVG, EPS, etc.) and specify the required image size (in pixels, inches, cm, or mm)
