When QR codes win
QR codes are best for physical surfaces and quick scans: counter stands, invoices, packaging, and flyers. They reduce typing and make the next step obvious when someone is on mobile.
Make it scannable
Use high contrast, leave margin, and don’t overload the destination URL. Test the QR on multiple devices before printing. A quick test prevents broken payments or dead links.
QR + payment in one flow
Pair a QR with a payment link so your customer can scan and pay instantly. That removes manual steps and increases conversion, especially in high‑traffic or offline settings.
Step-by-step workflow
- Paste your link or payment target into the QR generator.
- Select size and download the QR in PNG format.
- Test it on two devices before printing or sharing.
Example use case
Example: A shop prints a QR on the counter for UPI payments. Customers scan and pay within seconds, reducing checkout time.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Using low contrast colors
- Not testing the QR
- Linking to long, error‑prone URLs
