01How a UPI QR works

A UPI QR encodes a payment link in the format upi://pay?pa=yourid@bank&pn=Your%20Business&am=1180.00&cu=INR. pa is your UPI ID, pn your name, am the amount and cu the currency. Any UPI app can scan it.

02Adding it yourself

  1. Get a business UPI ID from your bank or payment app.
  2. Generate a QR from the link above with the invoice amount.
  3. Place it near the total on your invoice, with the text 'Scan to pay with any UPI app'.
  4. Add the invoice number in the note field (tn) so you can match payments.

03Or let your CRM do it

SuperForge's Commerce Forge adds a UPI QR to every invoice automatically, with the right amount and invoice number, so you don't create one by hand.

04Reconciliation tips

  • Ask customers to keep the invoice number in the payment note.
  • Mark invoices paid the same day.
  • Review unpaid invoices every Monday.

05Questions

Is it safe to put a UPI QR on an invoice?

Yes. A UPI QR only lets people send money to your UPI ID; it can't take money from you.

Can the QR include the amount?

Yes. Add the am parameter so the amount is filled in automatically.
