What is a PayPal QR code?
A PayPal QR code turns your PayPal.Me link into a scannable code, so customers open your payment page and pay in seconds. You can set a fixed amount and currency for an invoice, or leave the amount open for tips and donations, without anyone typing your details.
How PayPal QR codes work in Crafty QR
Static or dynamicCrafty QR builds the code from your PayPal.Me handle, forming a paypal.me link with an optional amount and currency. A static PayPal code carries that link directly, so scanning opens your PayPal payment page right away and the code never expires. You can also make it dynamic, which points to a Crafty QR page with a pay with PayPal button and scan tracking, so you can change the handle or amount later and see how many people used the code. Payments are handled entirely by PayPal, so Crafty QR never touches the money.
