Frequently asked questions
Any service with a shareable payment link works: PayPal.me, Venmo, CashApp, Stripe Payment Links, and most bank or fintech "pay me" links.
Yes — payment links like PayPal.me only allow people to send you money, not withdraw it. Still, double-check your provider's link only permits incoming payments before printing it publicly.
Some providers (like PayPal.me) support an amount in the URL, e.g. paypal.me/yourname/10. Check your provider's documentation for the exact format.
Use a dynamic QR code so you can update the destination link (say, from Venmo to Stripe) without reprinting your signage.
