 * I see that when PayPal gateway is connected live (not sandbox) and having the
   Venmo option available, when on Desktop mode as a user making a payment and selecting
   Venmo a QR code to Pay with Venmo is presented to the user. Is this QR code something
   I can leverage even offline to let people pay me with Venmo to my PayPal (business)
   account (and how can I capture it, if so)? Thanks.

 * Hi [@ltrost0910gmail](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ltrost0910gmail/)
 * The Venmo payment option in PayPal Payments is intended for [online purchases](https://developer.paypal.com/docs/checkout/pay-with-venmo/#link-supportedfeatures).
   You can find more details about how Venmo is PayPal Payments works in the [documentation here](https://woocommerce.com/document/woocommerce-paypal-payments/#pay-with-venmo).
 * To sum it up, the Venmo button allows buyers to perform a payment in your WooCommerce
   store. The only way to use this e.g. in a local shop is to have users visit the
   website to initiate the payment process. So it is not really practical for offline
   use to present local shop buyers a QR code to pay.
 * Using [regular Venmo payment options](https://venmo.com/pay/in-stores/) outside
   of the PayPal Payments plugin may be better for actual offline (in-store) applications
   that do not require your buyer to perform a payment in your WooCommerce store.
   
   For more details on how to make the most our of Venmo, I suggest [contacting the Venmo support from here](https://venmo.com/contact-us/).
 * I hope this helps!
 * Kind regards,
   Niklas
