A Revolut QR code from this generator encodes your Revolut.me link, https://revolut.me/<username>, so a scan opens a page where someone can pay you. Revolut's help says a Revolut.me link can be used to request money from a card or a Revolut account, which is why it suits tip jars, stalls, and splitting bills.
The code is built in your browser and does not link your Revolut account to anything. It stores only the public link.
How do you make a Revolut QR code?
- In the Revolut app, find your Revolut.me link and note your username.
- Enter it in the Revolut Username field (a leading
@or a pasted full link is cleaned up). - Download the code and scan it in a browser to see what a payer sees.

The link is short, so the QR pattern is sparse and stays legible on small stickers.
Who can pay through the link, and what are the limits?
This is where Revolut's rules vary by country, so read the relevant help page for yours. On Revolut's UK help pages at the time of writing:
- Payment pages can accept payments from both Revolut and non-Revolut customers, who pay through the web page.
- Card payments received through a Revolut.me link are capped at £250 per week (or the equivalent in other currencies), and a link cannot receive more than 20 completed top-ups in a week.
- The option to request money from non-Revolut customers is described as not available in the US.
Limits, eligibility, and fees change, so treat these figures as a snapshot and confirm on Revolut's site before you build a business process around them. For regular business sales above modest sums, Revolut's business payment tools are designed for that; a personal link is for casual payments.
Can you set a fixed amount in the code?
Not with this generator. It encodes only your username, so the payer chooses the amount on the page. That suits tips and open-ended payments. If you need a fixed price, ask for the amount in person or create a request link in Revolut and encode that link with the URL QR code generator.
Is it safe to post publicly?
The code shows only your public payment link, not your account number, so it is designed for sharing. The risks are practical ones:
- A fake sticker placed over yours could redirect payments. Check public signs now and then.
- Payers should confirm your name on the page before they send money.
- If you change or close your Revolut.me link, printed codes stop working, so choose a username you intend to keep.
Revolut or another method?
If your customers are mostly in the euro area, a bank-transfer code such as an EPC/SEPA QR code works with many banking apps without needing anyone to use Revolut. For US customers, compare Venmo and PayPal. The payment QR code guide covers the trade-offs.
How do you test it?
Scan from a phone that is signed out of Revolut and confirm the payment page shows your name. Do not send a real payment as a test unless you intend to. Check readability with the scannability tester.
