First, launch the PhonePe app on your Android device and sign in using your registered mobile number and four-digit password.

Completing payment

To use "Scan and Pay," look for the QR code icon in the upper right corner of your home screen. Click it and then aim your phone at the QR code.

The app will recognize it and prompt you to input a payment amount. Select UPI, debit, or credit card; and then click "Pay."

For UPI, enter your PIN to complete the transaction swiftly and securely.

Alternative scanning method: Gallery option
Scanning from gallery

If you have a QR code image stored in your gallery, there's another way to do it.

Navigate to "Pay" from the main menu and select "Scan QR."

Instead of using the camera function, select "Gallery," choose your saved QR code image, input an amount, and verify your transaction details before proceeding with payment.
