QR Code for Payments & Tips
Let customers pay or tip you in a single scan.
Whether you run a market stall, drive for hire, or busk on a corner, the easiest sale is the one where the customer just points their phone. A QR code for payments opens your pay or tip link directly, no cash, no card reader, no fumbling. Make it dynamic and you can route the same printed sign to a different payment provider or a seasonal tip jar without reprinting, and you'll see exactly when and where people pay.
Why use a dynamic QR code for this
No hardware needed
Accept payments and tips with a printed code instead of a card terminal.
Switch providers freely
Move between pay links or wallets later by repointing the same code.
See your busy hours
Scan timing shows when payments cluster so you can plan around demand.

FAQ
Is it safe to display a payment QR code in public?
The code only opens your own pay link; treat it like any printed payment sign and place it where you can see it.
Can I change which wallet it points to?
Yes. Repoint the code to a different provider or link anytime without reprinting the sign.
Can I change where the QR code points after printing?
Yes - with a dynamic QR code. It encodes a short redirect link, so you can update the destination anytime from your dashboard and every printed copy instantly points to the new URL. Static codes encode the destination directly and can't be changed.
Do these QR codes expire?
No. Static QR codes are free forever and never expire - they encode your destination directly and don't depend on our servers. Dynamic codes keep working as long as your account is active, and you can pause or re-point them whenever you like.
Can I track how many people scan it?
Yes. Dynamic QR codes come with real-time scan analytics: total scans plus device, location, and time-of-day breakdowns, so you can see exactly which placement is working. Scan tracking is part of the Pro plan.
Is there a watermark on the QR code?
No. Every QR code you create - free or paid - is watermark-free and downloadable as a crisp PNG or scalable SVG, ready for print at any size.
Do I need an app to scan the code?
No. Every modern iPhone and Android camera scans QR codes natively - just point the camera at the code and tap the link that appears. No special app required.
