While viewing the wallet to which you wish to receive funds, click the kebab menu (three dots) that appears in the upper right corner of the page and select Receive Funds from the dropdown menu.

The Receive Funds modal will appear. Here you will specify and confirm the amount of ARK to request. You will notice the following fields and buttons:

  • Wallet Name
  • Wallet Address
  • Specify Amount, and
  • Download QR-Code

Click the Specify Amount button in order to expand the modal.

The Specify Amount button is replaced by two distinct fields:

  • Amount - Enter the amount of ARK you want to request
  • Memo - Enter a message (255 character max) to include with your QR code

Note that you do not need to fill in the Amount and Memo fields unless you need to for your own purposes.

Upon entering in your desired amount and/or message (or even if you simply decided to leave these fields blank), click the Download QR-Code button to proceed.

Select a destination to which you will save your QR code and enter in a custom name if you so wish. When ready, click the Save button to complete the process.
