PayPal.me QR codes for market stalls and tip jars — free static generator, no subscription

Description and use

Vendors can freely generate PayPal.me QR codes locally with Toolkit Labs’ browser generator and batch process multiple URLs via CLI, eliminating subscription costs.

Problem

Vendors need quick, friction‑free payment options without paying for a paid QR‑code service.

Outcome

Vendors can produce unlimited QR codes locally, saving subscription costs and enabling quick setup for events.

Workflow

• Obtain your PayPal.me link (optionally with a preset amount).
• Copy the full HTTPS URL and use it as the QR payload.
• Open the client‑side browser generator at https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/toolkitlabs-qr@latest/index.html and paste the URL to download PNG or SVG.
• For multiple vendors, create a CSV with one URL per line and run npx toolkitlabs-qr@latest qr_batch.py vendors.csv ./output/ to generate a PNG per vendor.

Evidence

Farmers‑market vendors, freelance tutors, and pop‑up shops print PayPal QR codes at the till so customers pay without typing a username or amount.
