How to create a UPI QR code
- Enter your UPI ID (VPA) — for example
yourname@okaxis. You can find it in your UPI app's profile. - Enter the payee name as you want it shown to the payer.
- Optionally add a fixed amount in rupees and a note such as an order number.
- Download, then scan it with your own UPI app and check the name before printing.
What's encoded
The code holds a standard UPI deep link, for example upi://pay?pa=sharmastore@okaxis&pn=Sharma%20Store&am=250.00&cu=INR&tn=Order%201024. Names and notes are percent-encoded so spaces and special characters arrive intact. The currency is always INR.
Safety tips for shop owners
- Laminate or frame the printed code so it can't be covered by a fraudster's sticker.
- Check periodically that the code on display still shows your name when scanned.
- Remember: a payer never needs to scan a QR code or enter a PIN to receive money.
