What is a PhonePe QR code?
A PhonePe QR code is a standard UPI payment QR code that points at the UPI ID you use in PhonePe. PhonePe's own paper QR and the code on its "My QR" screen use the same NPCI standard, so a code made here behaves identically at the counter. Anyone who scans it with PhonePe, Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, BHIM or a bank app sees your name and, if you set one, the amount, and pays into the bank account behind that UPI ID.
How to make a PhonePe QR code
PhonePe is the most used UPI app in India, so a PhonePe-friendly QR code at your counter covers the majority of customers out of the box.
- Find your PhonePe UPI ID. Open PhonePe, tap your profile picture at the top-left, then look under "UPI IDs" or "My QR". Typical PhonePe IDs end with
@ybl,@iblor@axl. - Enter it above together with the name customers should see on the payment screen.
- Add an amount only if it is fixed. For a shop counter leave it blank so the customer types what they owe.
- Download the PNG or SVG and print it, share it on WhatsApp, or add it to an invoice.
Does a PhonePe QR code work with other apps?
Yes. PhonePe runs on UPI, the national payment rail operated by NPCI. The QR code generated here contains a standard upi://pay link, which PhonePe, Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm, BHIM, Amazon Pay, and every bank's UPI app understand. A customer who does not have PhonePe installed can still scan the code with whatever UPI app they prefer, and the money still arrives in the bank account linked to your PhonePe UPI ID.
PhonePe QR code vs. the code inside the PhonePe app
The PhonePe app can show a QR code on screen, but that is inconvenient when you want to print it, send it to a designer, place it on a website, or share it with someone who should pay later. This generator gives you a clean, high-resolution image file that you own. It also lets you pre-fill an amount, a bill number, and a note, which the in-app code does not.
Troubleshooting
- "Invalid UPI ID" when scanning: double-check the spelling of the part after the @ sign. It must match the handle your bank or app assigned.
- Payment goes to the wrong name: the name shown to the payer comes from the bank, not from this form. The name you enter here is only a hint displayed on the card.
- Code does not scan from a screen: increase brightness and zoom in. From print, make the code at least 3 cm wide and keep the white border.
