Cash App QR Code Generator
Cash App is how many people in the US pay a friend, a barber, a food truck or a market stall, and a $Cashtag QR code turns that into a single scan. Enter your $Cashtag and QRPebble builds your cash.app payment link, checking Cash App's rule of up to 20 letters, numbers, dashes or underscores with at least one letter. Add an optional amount for a fixed-price item such as a $5 raffle ticket or a $20 class drop-in, and the payment page opens with that amount filled in. The payer still confirms in their own app, and Cash App handles the money; QRPebble never touches the payment. Cash App already shows a scannable code inside the app, but a printed QR code you can put on a counter sign, a tip jar or a flyer works with any phone camera and keeps your own design.
Static code: the data is encoded directly, so it never expires and is not tracked. Need to change the link after printing or count scans? Create a free dynamic code.
How to make it
- Enter your $Cashtag (with or without the $) in the $Cashtag field.
- Optionally add an amount in USD for fixed-price items.
- Check the preview shows cash.app/$yourname (plus /amount if you set one).
- Download it and ask a friend to scan it and back out before paying, to confirm the right account appears.
What gets encoded
The payload is https://cash.app/$<cashtag>, or https://cash.app/$<cashtag>/<amount> with a preset amount. On phones with Cash App, the link opens your profile's payment screen in the app; otherwise it opens a web page with your profile and options to pay or download the app. Cash App payments are built for US accounts, so tourists and visitors from other countries usually can't pay through it; keep another option on hand. A preset amount is a suggestion the payer can see before confirming, not a charge. If you change your $Cashtag, the old link stops working, so use a dynamic code on printed signage you expect to keep.
Where people use it
- Tip jars for bartenders, baristas, buskers and stylists
- Farmers market and craft fair stalls
- Bake sales, raffles and school fundraisers
- Fixed-price drop-in classes and small services
Tips before you print
- Show your name or logo next to the code so payers can confirm the right recipient before sending.
- Only set an amount for fixed-price items; for tips, leave it blank so people choose.
- Pair it with a Venmo or PayPal code if your customers use different apps.
- Laminate counter signs; payment codes get handled and splashed.
FAQ
Can QRPebble receive or hold payments?
No. The code opens your Cash App payment page. The payer and Cash App complete the payment.
Does the preset amount charge people automatically?
No. It pre-fills the amount; the payer reviews and confirms in their own app.
Will it work for visitors from abroad?
Usually not. Cash App is built for US accounts, so offer PayPal or card payment as well if you serve tourists.
