How to Create a Fixed Amount UPI QR Code (Free, No App Needed)

1. What Is a Fixed Amount UPI QR Code?

A UPI QR code normally contains two things: who should get the money and how they are shown to the payer. A fixed amount UPI QR code adds a third thing, the amount. When a customer scans it with GPay, PhonePe, Paytm or any other UPI app, the payment screen opens with that amount already filled in.

This is useful any time the price is known in advance. Instead of saying "please pay ₹750 to this ID", you show one QR and the customer only has to confirm and enter their UPI PIN. You can make one in a minute with our free UPI QR Generator, with no signup and no app to install.

2. Fixed Amount QR vs Open Pay QR

There are two common ways to create a UPI QR, and choosing the right one saves you a lot of back and forth.

• Open Pay QR: contains only your UPI ID and name. The payer types the amount after scanning. This is ideal when the amount changes every time, like a grocery bill, a restaurant bill or a donation.
• Fixed Amount QR: contains your UPI ID, name and a set amount. The amount appears pre-filled when scanned. This is ideal for a standard fee, a ticket price or a package that always costs the same.

Many small businesses keep both: an Open Pay QR at the counter for general sales, and a few fixed amount QR codes for their most common services.

3. How a Fixed Amount QR Works Behind the Scenes

A UPI QR is just a short piece of text turned into a square pattern. That text is a link in the UPI deep-link format, which starts with upi://pay and carries a few parameters:

• pa: the payee address, which is your UPI ID
• pn: the payee name that the payer sees
• am: the amount in rupees (only present in a fixed amount QR)
• cu: the currency, which is INR

A fixed amount link looks like upi://pay?pa=shop@okaxis&pn=My%20Shop&am=499.00&cu=INR. If you leave the amount blank, the am part is not added at all, and the same link becomes an Open Pay QR. Our tool builds this link inside your browser, so your UPI ID and details are never uploaded to any server.

4. Step-by-Step: Create a Fixed Amount UPI QR

Step 1: Open the tool

Go to the Custom Amount UPI QR Generator. There is no login, no signup and no usage limit.

Step 2: Enter your payment details

Type your UPI ID (for example shopname@okaxis) and the business or payee name you want customers to see. If you prefer, switch to the Bank Account tab and enter your account number, IFSC code and account holder name instead.

Step 3: Set the amount

Type the amount in the Payment Amount box, or tap a quick preset such as ₹100, ₹500 or ₹1000. The +₹10, +₹50, +₹100 and +₹500 buttons help you build an amount quickly. To switch back to an Open Pay QR, press the Open Pay button or clear the box.

Step 4: Check the live preview

The standee on the right updates as you type. Check that the name is spelled correctly and that the amount shows exactly as you intended.

Step 5: Download and print

Click "Download Printable Standee" to save a PNG designed for 4×6 inch printing. You can also copy the UPI link and share it directly in WhatsApp or email.

5. Best Situations for a Fixed Amount QR

• Tuition, coaching and classes: a monthly fee that stays the same lets parents pay with a single scan.
• Gym and club memberships: keep a QR for each plan, such as monthly or quarterly.
• Event tickets and entry fees: print the QR on a poster at the gate so queues move quickly.
• Fixed-price services: a standard service visit, a delivery charge or a document-handling fee.
• Invoices and payment requests: add a QR for the exact invoice total so clients do not mistype the amount.
• Repeat orders: home bakers, tiffin services and craft sellers who offer a handful of fixed-price items.

6. When a Fixed Amount QR Is Not the Right Choice

A fixed amount QR is not ideal when every bill is different. A kirana store, a restaurant or a vegetable stall would need a new QR for each sale, which is impractical. In those cases an Open Pay QR is a better fit, because the customer simply types the bill amount.

Also remember that the amount is built into the code. If your price changes, the old QR will keep asking for the old amount, so you must generate and print a new one.

7. Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Typing the UPI ID wrongly. A single wrong character sends the payment to a different person or makes the QR fail. Copy and paste your ID when possible.
• Forgetting to update old standees. After a price change, remove the outdated printout so customers do not pay the wrong amount.
• Printing too small. A QR that is tiny or blurry is hard to scan. The standee is built for 4×6 inch printing, so avoid shrinking it further.
• Skipping the test. Always scan your own QR before you print dozens of copies.
• Using a name customers do not recognise. The payee name appears on the payer's screen, so use the name your customers know.

8. Print and Testing Checklist

• Scan it yourself first. Use a second phone with GPay or PhonePe and confirm the payee name and amount are correct.
• Send a small test payment. Pay a small amount and verify that it reaches the right account.
• Print on good paper and laminate. Matte lamination reduces glare and protects the QR from water and wear.
• Keep it flat and well lit. Do not fold the paper or place stickers over the code.
• Keep a digital copy. Store the PNG so you can reprint it or send it to customers online. If it feels large, you can shrink it with our Image Compressor.

9. Frequently Asked Questions

Is the fixed amount UPI QR generator free?

Yes. There is no signup, login or usage limit, and the downloaded standee has no watermark.

Can the customer change the pre-filled amount?

That depends on the UPI app and its version. Some apps let the payer edit the amount, so always verify the payment you receive.

Will every UPI app scan the QR code?

Yes. The QR follows the UPI deep-link standard, so apps such as GPay, PhonePe, Paytm, BHIM, Amazon Pay and bank UPI apps can scan it.

Can I use a bank account instead of a UPI ID?

Yes. Switch to the Bank Account tab and enter your account number and IFSC code. The tool creates a QR in the NPCI account format.

Are my UPI ID or bank details stored anywhere?

No. The QR is generated inside your browser and your details are never sent to a server.

How do I change the amount later?

The amount is part of the QR, so generate a new QR with the new amount and replace your old printout.
