Batch Generation
Upload a CSV to generate up to 500 QR codes in a single batch. Each row becomes its own QR — pick a template or override 21 properties on a per-row basis: colors, frames, dot/eye/eyeball styles, gradients, transparency, size, error correction, format, built-in logo, and more.
21 columns: type, data, filename, frametext, frame, template, fgcolor, bgcolor, size, ec, dotstyle, eyestyle, format, logo, gradient, g2, gtype, gangle, transparent, eyeball, eyecolor. Only type and data are required. Use | to separate fields inside data (e.g. ssid|password|WPA).
All 20 QR types supported, including URL, WiFi, vCard, MeCard, Email, SMS, Event, Location, UPI, SEPA, PayPal, Crypto, Micro QR and rMQR. Download the sample CSV to see every column, all 40 templates, 11 frame styles, and the 12 built-in logos in action.
Save the entire QR — type, all field values, style, frame, logo, business card design — as a single .qr.json file. Load it later to recreate everything in one click.

How PayPal QR Codes Work
A PayPal QR code encodes your PayPal.me link — a personalized URL that lets anyone send you money through PayPal. When someone scans the code, it opens your PayPal.me page in their browser, where they can enter an amount (or see your pre-set amount) and send payment using their PayPal account, credit card, or debit card.
This is different from PayPal's own in-app QR feature. Our codes link to your PayPal.me page, which works for anyone with a browser — they don't need the PayPal app installed.
How to Create a PayPal QR Code
- Enter your PayPal.me username — the one after paypal.me/ in your personal link.
- Set an amount (optional) — pre-fill a specific payment amount for fixed-price items or services.
- Customize and download your QR code with your brand colors or logo.
Where to Use PayPal QR Codes
- Small businesses — accept payments at farmers markets, pop-up shops, or craft fairs
- Freelancers — include on invoices for easy payment
- Nonprofits — donation collection at events or on printed materials
- Restaurants and cafes — tip jars or table tents for cashless tips
- Street performers and artists — accept tips without carrying a card reader
Frequently Asked Questions
Do people need a PayPal account to pay?
No. When someone opens your PayPal.me link, they can pay with a PayPal account or as a guest using a credit or debit card (in supported countries). They don't need the PayPal app installed.
Where do I find my PayPal.me username?
Log in to PayPal and go to paypal.me. Your username is the part after the slash — for example, if your link is paypal.me/johndoe, enter 'johndoe' as your username.
Does Abundera charge any fees for PayPal QR codes?
No. We generate the QR code for free with no fees. Standard PayPal transaction fees still apply to the payment itself, as set by PayPal. We have no involvement in the transaction.
Can I lock the amount so customers can't change it?
PayPal.me lets you suggest an amount in the URL, but the payer can still change it before sending. There's no way to fully lock the amount through PayPal.me — for that, you need to use PayPal Invoicing or a PayPal Buy Now button. The QR code approach trades amount-locking for simplicity.
Which currency does the payment use?
The currency defaults to the one configured on your PayPal account. If your PayPal is set to USD, the suggested amount is in USD. To request a different currency, you need to set it up in your PayPal profile or use PayPal Invoicing instead. The QR code itself doesn't carry currency information.
Is PayPal.me available in every country?
PayPal.me is available in roughly 60 countries including the US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia, and most major economies. Some countries (notably India for many account types) have restrictions on PayPal.me. Check paypal.com's regional availability page if you're unsure whether your account supports it.
Are PayPal QR codes good for high-volume retail?
For occasional small-business or freelancer use they're great. For high-volume retail, dedicated PayPal Here / Zettle hardware or QR-based POS systems are better — they handle inventory, receipts, and refunds in one place. PayPal QR codes are best for tip jars, fundraising, market stalls, and one-off invoices.
