3. Resize and Align

QR codes need space to work properly.

Follow these simple rules:

  • Keep it at least 1.2–1.5 inches wide for print.

  • Use dark QR on light background.

  • Leave white space around it.

  • Avoid textured or busy backgrounds.

A clean QR code always performs better than a decorative one.

4. Make It Yours

You can:

  • Edit your business name

  • Adjust payment instructions

  • Match brand colors

  • Change the font if needed.

  • and much more…

5. Download for Print or Digital Use

When you’re finished:

Click Share → Download

Choose:

PNG → for social media or websites
PDF Print → for posters, table signs, flyers

If you’re printing for markets or events, always choose PDF Print for best quality.

6. Test Your QR Code

Before printing or sharing:

  • Open your phone camera

  • Scan the QR code

  • Make sure it opens the correct payment page

If something doesn’t work, fix it now — not after printing 50 copies.

7. You’re All Set!

Your Scan to Pay display is ready to go.

Now you can confidently share it with customers, clients, or guests — whether you’re at a market, salon, pop-up, or event.
