⚠ Venmo Business Profile Required This must be a Venmo Business Profile username — not your personal Venmo handle. Personal Venmo accounts cannot accept scan-to-pay merchant payments. If you use a personal handle here, customers will be blocked from paying (or forced to have their own Business Profile). Create one for free in the Venmo app: Me → Settings → Create a Business Profile, then enter that profile's username (it's separate from your personal @handle).

How it works

  • When taking payment, select "Venmo" as the payment method
  • A QR code is displayed with your business username and the invoice amount
  • Customer scans with their Venmo app - amount and note are pre-filled
  • After payment is confirmed, click "Record Payment"

Setting Up Your Venmo Business Profile

A Business Profile is required so customers can scan and pay you for goods/services without restrictions. It's free, sits alongside your personal account, and gets its own @username.

  1. Open Venmo on your phone and sign in
  2. Tap the Me tab at the bottom
  3. Tap the gear/settings icon, then Create a Business Profile
  4. Complete the business setup (name, category, etc.) — Venmo will assign a separate business @username
  5. Switch to your Business Profile in the Venmo app to confirm the handle
  6. Enter that business username in the field above (without the @ symbol)
Why this matters: Venmo blocks customers from making purchase payments to a personal handle — they'd either get an error or be required to have their own Business Profile to send the payment. A Business Profile on your end removes that friction entirely (Venmo's standard ~1.9% + $0.10 seller fee applies).
