What is a fixed-amount UPI QR code?
A fixed-amount UPI QR code is a normal UPI payment code with the amount written into the link, so the payer's app opens with the sum already filled in instead of an empty field. Everything else stays the same: it carries your UPI ID and name, any UPI app can scan it, and the money goes straight to your bank account. It removes typing mistakes and speeds up queues wherever the price is known in advance.
When to use a fixed-amount UPI QR code
- Menu items and price tags. One code per dish or product so customers never type the wrong price.
- Tickets and entry fees. Print the code on posters for events, workshops, and tournaments.
- Monthly fees. Tuition, gym, society maintenance, hostel rent: send the code on WhatsApp on the first of every month.
- Invoices. Put the exact invoice total in the amount field and the invoice number in the reference field, so every payment is reconciled automatically.
- Donations. Create a few codes for ₹100, ₹500 and ₹1,000 and let donors pick.
How the amount is stored in the code
The QR code encodes a UPI link such as upi://pay?pa=shop@okaxis&pn=Sharma%20Stores&am=250&cu=INR. The am parameter carries the amount and cu=INR declares the currency. When a UPI app scans the link it pre-fills the amount field, so the payer sees ₹250 and simply enters their UPI PIN. Nothing about the amount is sent to this website; the value only lives inside the image you download.
Add a reference number for easy reconciliation
The optional reference field becomes the tr parameter of the link. Most banks show it in the transaction remarks, which makes it easy to match payments against invoice numbers, order IDs, or student roll numbers when you check your statement.
Tips
- Always test a fixed-amount code with a ₹1 payment from a friend's phone before printing.
- If prices change often, print a general code (no amount) instead and let customers type the total.
- For bulk needs such as 200 invoices, generate the images one by one here or contact us for a batch tool.
