    You can configure the QR Code to receive a single payment or multiple payments.

    <Warning>
      **Watch Out!**

      * QR Codes that support multiple payments cannot be closed.
      * You can only accept a fixed amount for single payment QR Codes.
    </Warning>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Accept only fixed amount on this QR?">
    You can decide whether to accept fixed amount or let the customer decide the amount:

    * **Yes**: Set to **Yes** and specify the fixed amount you want to receive from customers. Customers will not be able to pay an amount greater than or lesser than the specified amount.
    * **No**: Set to **No** to allow customers to pay an amount of their choice.
  </Accordion>
