HOW TO CREATE AND USE XRP PAYMENT QR CODES

Sending XRP can be even easier when you use QR codes instead of copying and pasting wallet addresses. QR codes reduce the risk of errors, make payments faster, and are supported by most XRP-compatible wallets like Xaman and GemWallet.

Here's how to create and use XRP payment QR codes safely and correctly.

Step 1: Open Your XRP Wallet

1. Open your XRP wallet app: for example, Xaman or GemWallet *Make sure you're on the main dashboard where your XRP balance and address are visible

Step 2: Locate the "Receive" or "Deposit" Option

1. Tap or click "Receive" (sometimes labeled "Deposit") *This will show your wallet's XRP address along with a QR code automatically generated for that address

   

   

   This code represents your wallet address, anyone who scans it can send XRP directly to you.

Step 3: Copy or Download the QR Code

1. You can either:

   • Save the QR code image to your device, or

   • Copy the link (address) beneath it for manual sharing

2. If you plan to share it publicly (for tips or payments), make sure it's from a dedicated wallet, not the one you use for personal holdings

Step 4: (Optional) Add a Payment Amount or Tag

1. Some wallets allow you to generate a QR code with a fixed payment amount and destination tag *For example, you can create a QR code that requests exactly 50 XRP with your tag automatically included

   This ensures the sender can't mistype or forget the tag, a common mistake when sending to exchanges

Step 5: Send or Scan a QR Code

1. To send XRP: Tap the "Scan" icon in your wallet and point your camera at the QR code provided by the recipient

2. To receive XRP: Share your QR code via email, chat, or social media (if you're accepting payments)

Your wallet will automatically fill in the address (and tag if included). You just need to confirm the amount and transaction fee.

Tips for Safe Use

• Only share QR codes from trusted wallets, never from exchange deposit pages

• If you include a destination tag, double-check that it's correct before sharing

• Always test with a small transfer before sending large amounts

• Never post QR codes from wallets that contain all your funds. Create a separate payment wallet for public use

Conclusion

XRP payment QR codes make transactions faster, safer, and more convenient by eliminating typing errors. Whether you're requesting payment or sending XRP to someone else, QR codes save time and improve accuracy, a simple yet powerful feature built into most XRP wallets.
