Print context next to the QR
Do not print a lonely QR code. Add the business name, purpose, and expected domain or payment receiver. Example: "Menu: menu.example.in" or "UPI receiver: Cafe Name".
Use clear payment labels
For UPI QR boards, print the shop name and expected receiver name near the code. Train staff to answer when a customer asks, "Is this receiver name correct?"
Check for sticker replacement
Restaurants should check table cards. Shops should check counters. Parking operators should check boards and poles. Events should check posters at entry points.
Avoid random APK QR codes
If your business needs users to install an app, link to the official app store listing or your official website. Do not train customers to trust QR codes that download APK files directly.
Keep short links transparent
If you use a short link, tell customers what final domain they should expect. A short QR for a feedback form is fine, but the user should not be surprised by the destination.
Good QR design reduces support
Clear labels, verified receiver names, and regular QR checks protect customers and reduce payment confusion at your counter.
ScanRaksha on Google Play can help staff and customers preview public QR codes before opening links or continuing to payment.
