Make a UPI payment QR

One UPI QR code lets customers pay you from PhonePe, Google Pay, Paytm, BHIM or any other UPI app. You can make one free in under a minute — no account needed.

Steps

1. Find your UPI ID in your UPI app — it is usually on your profile page and looks like yourname@okicici or 9876543210@ybl.
2. Open the free UPI QR code generator and paste your UPI ID.
3. Type the name to show on the poster, such as your shop name. Add a fixed amount only if every customer pays the same price; otherwise leave it empty so customers type the amount.
4. Download the QR code or poster and print it.
5. Test it: scan it from another phone and pay a small amount. Check that the name shown in the app is yours and that the money reaches the right bank account.

How it works

The QR code holds a standard UPI payment request with your UPI ID, name and (optionally) amount. When a customer scans it, their UPI app fills in the details and they confirm with their own UPI PIN.

• The money goes straight from the customer's bank to yours. hi4.in never handles the payment and cannot see it.
• It is a static QR code: it works without hi4.in, but it cannot be changed after printing. If you change your UPI ID, print a new one.
• Because UPI apps read the code directly, we cannot count scans of a UPI QR.

Keep your QR safe

• Check the name. After scanning, UPI apps show the name of the account that will receive the money. Ask customers to check it — and check your own poster regularly to make sure nobody has stuck another QR on top.
• Wait for the confirmation. Only hand over goods when your app, SMS or sound box confirms the payment. Screenshots can be faked.
• Never scan to receive. You never need to scan a QR or enter your UPI PIN to receive money. Anyone who asks you to is trying to cheat you.

Add a pay button to your page

You can also add a UPI pay button to your hi4.in/@name page so customers can pay from their phone. See Set up your hi4.in/@name page.
