How to add a QR code to your business website

There are two QR codes a small business deals with: a QR code shown on your website, usually your UPI QR for payments, and a QR code of your website link printed in your shop and on flyers. Both are simple; both must be tested before you use them.

A UPI QR code on your website

Many customers pay small businesses by UPI. Your UPI app or bank gives you a QR code for your account. Put it on your website as a picture, on the prices or contact page, with your UPI ID written in text and the name customers will see when they pay.

A website visitor on a phone cannot easily scan a QR on their own screen, so the UPI ID in text matters as much as the picture. An AppCub website has no payments or checkout and cannot tell you someone has paid; ask customers to send the payment screenshot on WhatsApp, and check your bank app before you confirm.

A QR code that opens your website

Once your website is live at your-name.sites.appcub.ai, you can make a QR code of that link with any QR code maker and print it: on the counter, the shop door, visiting cards, menus, flyers and delivery bags. People scan it and your website opens, with your prices, photos and WhatsApp button.

You can also make a QR code for your Google Business Profile review link and place it at the counter, with a line asking happy customers to review you.

Where to place a QR code

UPI QR: on the prices or contact page, near the payment instructions
Website QR: at the counter, on the door, on visiting cards and on the back of printed menus
Print it at least the size of a matchbox so older phones can read it
Put a short line above it: "Scan to see our menu", "Scan to pay"
Do not place it where glass glare or a bad angle makes scanning hard

Test before you print

Scan with two different phones, in the light where it will hang
Check the UPI QR shows your correct name before you put it anywhere public
If you change your website address, make and print a new QR
Keep a dark QR on a white background; avoid coloured or busy backgrounds

With AppCub

Attach your UPI QR picture in the chat and say: "Show this UPI QR code on the Contact page, with my UPI ID, the payee name and a line asking people to send the screenshot on WhatsApp." AppCub resizes it for phones. For a QR code of your website, publish the site first, then make the QR from its link.

Questions

Can I put my UPI QR code on my website?

Yes, as a picture with your UPI ID in text. The website cannot confirm payments; check your bank app.

Does AppCub make a QR code for my website link?

Make it with any QR code maker using your website's link, once the website is published.

Can people scan a QR code on the same phone?

Not easily. Show the UPI ID in text too, so phone visitors can copy it.

Is it safe to show my UPI QR publicly?

People can only send money to it. Never share your UPI PIN, and check the name it shows.

What size should a printed QR code be?

At least the size of a matchbox for counters and cards; larger on doors and posters.

Can a QR code take people to my Google reviews?

Yes. Make a QR of your Google Business Profile review link and place it at the counter.
