How to Customize Design Templates for Google Pay and PhonePe QRs
Learn how to brand and style your payment standees using custom templates while ensuring compliance with scan-to-pay standards.
While standard blue or green stickers provided by banks work, they do nothing for your store’s brand. Business owners spend a lot of effort designing logos, choosing color palettes, and organizing counter layouts, only to put a generic QR sticker on top.
With custom design templates, you can create a beautiful check-out standee that matches your brand guidelines perfectly. Here is how.
The Technical Boundary: What NOT to Edit
To ensure your custom QR code remains scannable by all apps:
- Do not edit the QR Code grid itself: The black/white patterns, alignment squares (large corner boxes), and quiet zones must remain untouched.
- Maintain Contrast: The QR code must remain high-contrast (dark pixels on a light background). Do not use light pastel colors for the QR squares.
- Keep the Logo Small: If you embed a brand logo inside the center of the QR code, ensure it doesn’t cover more than 15% of the code area. UPI QR codes use low-level error correction, so covering too much can cause scanning to fail.
Step-by-Step Customization
- Go to Pro UPI QR.
- Enter your payment details.
- Select one of our premium designer templates (we have styles for cafes, clinics, freelancers, and stores).
- Tap Download.
- If you want to customize further, import the downloaded high-resolution card into design tools like Canva. You can add your business logo, custom text instructions, or frame borders around the layout card.
Recommended Print Finishes
Once designed, take it to your local print shop and ask for:
- Matte Cardstock (300 GSM): Prevents reflections from overhead store lights.
- Lamination (Matte): Protects the standee card from spills and grease on restaurant tables.
