UPI QR codes are powerful for small businesses—but placement and presentation matter. Here's how to use them effectively.
1. Print clearly and at the right size
- Use at least 2x2 inches (5x5 cm) for easy scanning
- Print on white or light background for better contrast
- Laminate to protect from wear and tear
2. Place where customers can easily scan
- At the billing counter
- On each table (for restaurants)
- On receipts and invoices
- In email signatures
3. Use dynamic QR for invoices
For bills and invoices, always include the amount in the QR code. Pre-filled amounts reduce errors and speed up payment.
4. Keep your UPI details secure
- Don't share QR codes publicly if they contain fixed amounts
- Use our generator—your data stays in your browser, never stored on servers
5. Add UPI to your payment options
Display "We accept UPI" alongside cash and card. Many customers prefer digital payment—make it easy for them.
