What do I enter as the username?

Your PayPal.Me handle — the part after paypal.me/ in your link. If you have not created one yet, visit paypal.me while signed in to PayPal and claim it in a minute.

Can I pre-fill the amount?

Yes — add an amount and the payment page opens with it filled in. Leave it empty and the sender chooses, which suits tip jars and donations.

What currency is the amount in?

Your PayPal account's primary currency. The sender sees the exact currency on the PayPal page before confirming, so there are no surprises.

Does UseQR handle the payment?

No — the code is just a link to your PayPal.Me page, generated in your browser. Payments happen entirely on PayPal, and the code is free forever with no signup.
