What is a PayPal QR code?

A PayPal QR code is a scannable QR code that opens a PayPal payment page—typically via a PayPal.Me link or a checkout/payment link. When scanned, users go straight to PayPal and can complete the payment in seconds.

It’s a great option for fast payments and donations, both online and in physical locations, because it removes manual typing and reduces steps to checkout.

How does it work?

You paste your PayPal link (PayPal.Me or a payment/checkout URL), and scurt.icu generates a QR code you can print or display digitally. When scanned, PayPal opens in the browser or app and the user confirms the payment.
