Safety on ParcharPay

How to spot a genuine ParcharPay QR

• The QR always opens a page on parcharpay.org. Never trust QR codes that redirect elsewhere.
• The profile page shows a Verified badge and the recipient's display name.
• The bottom checkout bar reads Powered by ParcharPay and lists Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.
• The page URL follows the pattern parcharpay.org/p/<handle>.

Warning signs

• A QR that opens a website that is not parcharpay.org.
• Pressure to send funds outside the ParcharPay checkout ("just tap this UPI/PayID/bank link instead").
• A profile that copies the name or photo of a known Parcharak but shows a different handle.
• Requests for full-balance booking payment through a private link rather than the deposit flow.
• A sticker or printout placed on top of another QR code at an event.

If in doubt

Do not scan — search for the Parcharak by name on ParcharPay and confirm the handle matches. If you believe a QR code or profile is being misused, please report it.

Protecting your account

• Use a unique, strong password. Turn on two-step verification with your email provider.
• Never share your password, one-time codes, or Stripe verification links.
• ParcharPay staff will never ask for your card number, CVC, or bank password.
