How Do QR Codes Work?

A QR Code is a machine-readable code made of black and white squares that helps make your online wallet trade faster and easier. You can add a QR code to your Paxful account to make your online wallet trades easier and faster. 

By adding a QR code, you can quickly share your online wallet details in the trade chat or when you're creating an offer. We’ve broken down the steps on how to add and use a QR code in the Paxful marketplace:

To add a QR code to your Paxful account:

• Head to the settings page of your Paxful account and click on Payment details
  

• Scroll down to Online Wallets and click on Add New

  
• Next, pick your wallet name, upload the wallet URL, and give the account a nickname 
  
• Once you’re done, click Add
  
  

To edit or delete a QR code connected to your Paxful account:

• Head to the settings page of your Paxful account and click on Payment details
  
  
• Select the online wallet you’d like to edit or delete
  
  
• Click on the action you’d like to do
  
  

To upload a QR code in the chat:

• Once you’ve started a trade and you have a QR code linked to your Paxful account, you’ll see a mini QR code icon in the trade chat. Tap on the icon for the list of your linked online wallets
  
• Select the QR code you’d like to use
  
• From there, your QR code will be uploaded to the chat
  
  

  Notes:

  • If you created a sell offer with an online wallet, your QR code will automatically appear in the trade chat once the trade is started.
  • If you’re the buyer, you’ll need to click on the QR code link to visit your trade partner’s online wallet.
    

To create an offer with a QR code:

• Start by creating your offer as you usually would. If you select an online wallet that is supported by this feature, you’ll have the option to upload your linked online wallet during the first step:
  
  
  
• Select the online wallet you’d like to use
  
• 

  From there, you can continue to create your offer as usual
