UPI QR Code Generator FAQ

UPI QR code generator tool

  1. Can I use emojis or special characters in the payment note?
    Yes, most UPI apps support basic emojis and special characters in the note section.
  2. Is my bank account number exposed in the QR code?
    No, only your UPI ID is encoded. Your bank account number stays private.
  3. Can I generate a dynamic QR code with custom data each time?
    Most free tools generate static QR codes. For dynamic ones, you’ll need advanced APIs or services.
  4. Is GST applicable on UPI payments received?
    If you’re a GST-registered business, yes. Otherwise, it’s not automatically applied.
  5. Can I disable or revoke a QR code?
    No, once generated, a static UPI QR code can’t be revoked. Just stop using or sharing it.
  6. What happens if I change my UPI ID?
    Old QR codes won’t work. You’ll need to generate new QR codes for the new UPI ID.
  7. Can I integrate this QR code with my printed bills or invoices?
    Yes, just print the QR code image on your invoice with the bill amount encoded.
  8. Can the QR code show my name or merchant name?
    No, the QR doesn’t display names. But the payer will see your registered UPI name in their app.
  9. Is it better to use a fixed or flexible amount in QR codes?
    Use fixed for standard payments (like product prices), flexible for donations or tips.
  10. Can I use the same QR on different platforms (WhatsApp, Instagram, Website)?
    Yes, you can share the same QR image across all digital platforms.
  11. How do I test if the payment goes through correctly?
    Scan it using your secondary UPI app or a friend’s device and verify the transaction.
  12. Does the QR generator store my UPI ID or data?
    If the tool is privacy-friendly, it doesn’t store anything. Always check the privacy policy.
  13. Can I make my own QR generator with code?
    Yes, developers can use libraries like Google Charts, qrcode.js, or Python’s qrcode module.
  14. Can I generate QR codes in bulk (for multiple IDs)?
    Not usually via free tools, but custom software/scripts can do this.
  15. How do I resize the QR code image?
    Use any image editor or generate it with size settings (like 256×256, 512×512 pixels).
  16. What image formats are supported for download?
    Mostly PNG or JPG. Some tools may offer SVG or PDF as well.
  17. How can I scan the QR code without a UPI app?
    You can’t initiate a payment without a UPI app, though you can read the content with a QR scanner.
  18. Can I create a QR that redirects to a payment page or form?
    No. UPI QR codes are specifically for payments—not for web links.
  19. What’s the difference between UPI and Bharat QR?
    UPI QR is for mobile apps; Bharat QR is a more universal system also supporting cards (Visa/Mastercard).
  20. Is there a character limit in UPI notes or amounts?
    Yes, notes usually have a ~50-character limit. Amounts must follow valid currency formats.
  21. Can I see payment history from QR code transactions?
    Yes, check your UPI app’s transaction history or linked bank account statement.
  22. Is there a limit on how much money can be received via QR code?
    Yes, UPI has daily limits (e.g., ₹1L–2L per day depending on the bank).
  23. Can someone reverse the payment sent to my QR?
    No. The sender would need to request a refund manually; it’s not auto-reversible.
  24. Is it legal to accept payments via personal UPI for business?
    It’s common, but for larger volumes, consider switching to a UPI merchant ID to stay compliant.
  25. Can I add a logo or branding to the QR code?
    Yes, with image editing tools or advanced QR code generators that support branding.
