Feature RequestThis is an on-demand feature. Please raise a request with our Support team to get this feature activated on your account.
string
Label entered to identify the QR Code. For example, Store Front Display.
string
required
Indicates if the QR Code should be allowed to accept single payment or multiple payments. Possible values:
  • single_use: QR Code will accept only one payment and then close automatically.
  • multiple_use (default): QR Code will accept multiple payments.
boolean
Indicates if the QR should accept payments of specific amounts or any amount. Possible values:
  • true: QR Code accepts only a specific amount.
  • false (default): QR Code accepts any amount.
Watch Out!When setting the usage to single_use, ensure that fixed_amount is true to generate the QR Code successfully.
integer
required
The amount allowed for a transaction. If this is specified, then any transaction of an amount less than or more than this value is not allowed. For example, if this amount is set as 500000, the customer cannot pay an amount less than or more than ₹5000.
string
A brief description about the QR Code.
string
The unique identifier of the customer the QR Code is linked with. Know more about the Customers API.
integer
Unix timestamp at which the QR Code is scheduled to be automatically closed. The time must be at least 2 minutes after the current time.
Watch Out!This parameter is available for single use QR codes only. You should ideally send a close_by value (expiry time less than or equal to 2 hours from QR generation).
  • The QR code has a minimum expiration time of 2 minutes and a maximum of 2 hours.
  • If close_by is NULL, the system sets a 2-hour expiry (returned in the response).
  • If close_by is greater than 2 hours, the system overrides it to 2 hours (returned in the response).
  • Use the returned close_by value for QR expiry. QR codes expire after the close_by time; you must regenerate them.
  • This parameter is only available for QR codes with usage set as single_use. You will not be able to use this parameter for multiple_use QR codes as it will generate an error.
object
Key-value pair that can be used to store additional information about the QR Code. Maximum 15 key-value pairs, 256 characters (maximum) each. For example, "note_key": "Beam me up Scotty”.
