Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Venmo QR codes

Is this the same as Venmo's built-in QR code?
No. Venmo has its own in-app QR codes, but they only work within the Venmo app. Our QR codes work with any smartphone camera and open Venmo in the browser or app. Plus, you get tracking analytics and custom branding.
Do customers need the Venmo app to pay me?
Yes, customers need the Venmo app or a Venmo account to complete the payment. The QR code will open Venmo on their phone if they have it installed, or direct them to venmo.com if they don't.
Can I track how many people scanned my payment QR code?
Yes! With dynamic QR codes, you get full analytics including scan count, timestamps, and locations. This helps you understand payment engagement even before someone completes the payment in Venmo.
Can I pre-fill the payment amount?
Yes! Add query parameters to your URL like: venmo.com/username?txn=pay&amount=20¬e=Coffee. This will pre-fill the amount and note when someone scans.
Is this official Venmo integration?
This creates a link to your public Venmo profile using their standard URL format. It's not an official integration, but it uses Venmo's public links which are meant to be shared.
Are there Venmo fees for receiving payments?
Venmo is free for personal payments. For business accounts, Venmo charges a fee (currently 1.9% + $0.10 per transaction). Check Venmo's current fee structure for details.
