Venmo QR Code Generator

Venmo is how many people in the US split dinner, pay a babysitter or tip at a food truck, and a printed code saves everyone from searching for the right account among lookalike usernames. Enter your Venmo username and QRPebble builds your venmo.com profile link. When someone scans it, they land on your profile and pay from there. It's handy on bake-sale tables, sports-team fee sheets and small pop-up shops. Venmo is only available in the US, so for international customers pair this code with a PayPal one. Your username is checked for Venmo's allowed characters before the code is drawn.

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

  1. Enter your Venmo username in the Venmo username field; the leading @ is optional.
  2. Make sure the preview shows venmo.com/u/yourname with no validation error.
  3. Pick colours with strong contrast and a margin of at least four modules.
  4. Scan the result and check that the profile photo and name match your account before printing.

What gets encoded

The encoded link is https://venmo.com/u/<username>. On phones with Venmo installed, the link usually opens your profile in the app, where the payer taps Pay; without the app it opens a Venmo web page. Venmo's own in-app QR codes use a different, app-only format. This code is a plain web link any camera can open. Usernames are 5 to 30 letters, numbers, hyphens or underscores. Amounts can't be preset in this link, so payers enter the amount in Venmo.

Where people use it

  • Paying team or club dues
  • Bake sales and school fundraisers
  • Tips for musicians, dog walkers and delivery drivers
  • Pop-up shops and craft-fair tables

Tips before you print

  • Print your @username as text next to the code; Venmo has many similar names and payers like to double-check.
  • Use a business profile if you sell regularly, since Venmo has separate rules for goods and services.
  • A card-sized code of about 3 cm is enough for a table sign read at arm's length.

FAQ

Can people outside the US use this code?

Venmo is available only in the US, so international payers need another method such as PayPal.

Can I set the amount?

Not with this profile link. The payer types the amount in Venmo.

Is this the same as the QR code inside the Venmo app?

No. The in-app code only works with Venmo's scanner. This is a normal web link that any phone camera can open.
