Creating a QR code for a payment request can make it easier for a customer to scan a receiving address instead of copying it. In QREasy, the payment QR generator creates a static code containing a Bitcoin or Ethereum address, an optional amount, a Bitcoin label, or payment text you enter.
That makes it useful for a freelancer, shop, or individual at a counter, event, or donation point. The boundary is important: QREasy creates the code, but it does not process, receive, or confirm payments. The customer completes the transaction in their own wallet app.
Key takeaways
QREasy payment QR codes are static, so their encoded address, amount, label, or text does not update automatically
A Bitcoin or Ethereum address and optional amount can be encoded, while Bitcoin requests can also include a label
Many professionals struggle to choose between a microsite and a landing page. This guide explains the key differences and shows why a microsite is often the better fit for building a simple, professional, and always-on digital presence.
QREasy helps you reduce follow-up friction in two ways: let people save your contact instantly to their phone contacts with a vCard QR, or keep your micro page in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet so you can open it anytime and let people scan through to your fuller digital identity.
Prepare accurate property photos, descriptions, and viewing access steps for a QREasy real-estate microsite, separating confirmed details from items to verify at the viewing.
A microsite is a compact, focused digital presence built to explain who you are, what you offer, and what people should do next. This guide explains the definition, benefits, examples, and differences between micro pages, microsites, landing pages, and full websites.
A link in bio page is useful when you mainly need a simple hub for social links. A micro page or microsite is the better choice when you need a stronger branded presence that explains who you are, what you offer, and what people should do next.
The payer must open their wallet, review the transaction details, and authorize the payment independently
QREasy does not process payments or provide dynamic payment QR codes
Understand the payment QR code generator
QREasy’s payment QR code generator turns fixed payment information into a static QR code. Depending on the option selected, the code can contain a Bitcoin or Ethereum address, an optional amount, a label for Bitcoin, or other payment text that you enter. It is a convenient way to present a request, not a hosted checkout page.
That distinction matters when you plan to publish or print the code. QREasy creates the QR; the payer’s own wallet app handles the transaction. QREasy does not process, receive, or confirm payments, so a successful scan is only the start of the payment flow rather than evidence that funds have arrived.
A static code keeps the same embedded content every time it is scanned. If its address, amount, label, or text must change, create a new code and replace the old one. For a broader view of where this tool sits, compare it with other QREasy QR code generators.
Choose the data to encode
Begin by deciding whether the customer should receive a wallet address or a written instruction. For a Bitcoin or Ethereum request, paste the public receiving address exactly as it appears in the wallet. Compare every character before publishing, because an address copied with even one wrong character can point the payer toward the wrong destination.
Next, decide whether the amount is fixed. Enter it when every customer should see the same value, such as a standard consultation fee or event contribution. Leave it blank when the customer should choose the amount, then make sure the surrounding instructions say that the amount is entered in the wallet.
For Bitcoin, you can add a short label that identifies the purpose of the request, such as Design deposit or Event contribution. If you need another format, choose the option for entered payment text and type the wording exactly as it should appear after scanning. Use this option for a short instruction, not for private account information.
Bitcoin: receiving address, optional amount, and optional label.
Ethereum: receiving address with an optional amount.
Custom text: wording entered by you.
Public details only: exclude seed phrases, private keys, passwords, and other secrets.
Short content: one clear request is easier to verify.

Create the code step by step
Open the payment tool and select Bitcoin or Ethereum to match the address you want to receive. Paste the address, enter the amount if the request has a fixed value, and add a label when using Bitcoin and you want to clarify the purpose. Review the fields before generating the code rather than relying on memory.
To generate a text-based request, choose the option for entered payment text, type the final wording, and check punctuation, decimal marks, and line breaks. Then generate the static QR and save the image. If the amount is omitted, tell customers that they must enter it in their wallet before approving the transaction.
Test the result with a second phone and the wallet app your customers are likely to use. Static QR creation is available through QREasy’s free QR tools, and the QREasy plans include unlimited static QR codes. If any encoded detail changes later, generate and publish a replacement rather than assuming the old image has updated.
Verify the code and complete the payment
Before sharing the code, scan it in a test wallet and compare the full destination with your records. Confirm the asset, network, amount, label, and fee shown by the app. For a text-only code, verify that the wording is readable and understandable; arbitrary text may not produce a ready-to-send transaction.
QREasy is not part of that authorization or settlement step. To decide whether a payment is complete, use the status shown in the recipient’s wallet or the relevant transaction record, not the payer’s “sent” confirmation. Do not treat a scan, a screenshot, or the act of opening the code as proof of payment.
Test: scan on another phone before printing or publishing.
Match: compare the full address, not just the first or last characters.
Review: check the asset, network, amount, label, and fee.
Authorize: let the payer approve the transaction in their own wallet.
Confirm: use wallet or transaction status, not a scan, to judge payment.
Static and dynamic payment QR codes
A static payment QR is useful when the request stays the same. Print it on a counter card, poster, package, or event display, and customers can scan it repeatedly. It cannot change the amount for each customer, expire automatically, or display live payment status, so those requirements need a different payment workflow.
A dynamic QR normally points to a redirect whose destination can be changed after the code is published. That distinction is covered in the practical guide to static and dynamic link QR codes. However, QREasy does not provide a dynamic payment QR code, regardless of any dynamic QR-code allowance included for other uses in its plans.
For a fixed request, use the static payment generator and print or display the result. For a price that changes, publish a new code for each replacement and retire the earlier one. If you need unique customer amounts, automatic expiry, or server-side matching, plan for a separate payment or invoicing system rather than expecting the static code to manage it.
Decide when the generator fits
The generator is a practical fit when the same request is clear and stable: a freelancer showing one consultation fee, a small business displaying one public receiving address, or an event using a fixed contribution amount. It also suits a short written instruction that customers can scan instead of copying a longer message.
It is a poor fit for invoices that require a unique amount, expiring prices, automatic status, or reconciliation. Those needs go beyond creating a QR image and usually require a payment or accounting service with the appropriate records. QREasy can create the code, but it should not be treated as the system that receives or settles funds.
Before rollout, write down exactly what the payer will see, keep the public receiving address under your control, and place the QR where the request remains relevant. Replace printed material whenever its content changes. Never place a seed phrase, private key, password, or other secret in a payment QR or its accompanying instructions.
Use when one fixed address, amount, or instruction stays valid.
Do not use when every customer needs a different amount or live status.
Test with the phone, wallet, and network your customers will use.
Retire any code whose address, amount, label, or text is outdated.
Protect public payment details only; never include credentials or secrets.
Frequently asked questions
No. QREasy creates the static QR code only. The payer’s own wallet app handles the transaction, while the recipient checks payment status in the wallet or through the relevant transaction record.
No. QREasy does not provide dynamic payment QR codes. Its plans include dynamic QR codes, but those do not make a static payment request updateable. Replace the payment code whenever its encoded address, amount, label, or text changes.
A Bitcoin or Ethereum address, an optional amount, a label for Bitcoin, or other payment text that you enter. Keep the request short, use a public receiving address, and never include a seed phrase, private key, password, or other secret.
Scan it with a test wallet and compare the full address, asset, network, amount, label, and fee with the intended request. For text-based codes, check that the wording is readable and appears as expected on the customer’s phone.
