When I try to scan my PayPal QR Code it says: "Were having trouble with this code right now". I just got my QR Code stickers. Wondering why they are not working?

Did anyone ever get a solution to activating the QR stickers that come in the seller's kit? I waited for 45 mins on the phone to speak to a representative and he was unable to give me an answer as to why the QR codes wouldn't activate. Hopefully, someone has figured it out and if you could please post on here I'd greatly appreciate it.

If you try it more than once without having your location turned on, the security will then block it. I called PayPal and they said, turn on location on my phone and then scan the qr code 24 hrs after I did exactly the same as everyone else here. I then scaned the code and it worked. If you scan more than once then you will have that code blocked for 24hrs.

Leave it 24 hrs, then turn on your location then scan once only. If you scan more than once you will have to call paypal
