You can now send the file to the device you want to use to create your design.

What does my customer see when they scan a QR code?

Once a customer has scanned a QR code, a checkout page opens – here the customer can enter the amount owed and complete the payment. They’ll see a success screen which displays the amount paid and the current time, so that you can verify the payment.

Which payment methods can be accepted via QR code?

You can accept any credit or debit card that displays a Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, Diners Club, or Union Pay logo. We’ll add more payment methods in the future.

Can I use a QR code more than once?

You can use the same QR code to accept an unlimited number of payments. QR codes are active until you delete them from your list of created QR codes. You can also use the same QR code in several places at your business. For example, at every table or seat, on your counter, in your shop window. It’s up to you to see what works best for your business.

How do I send my customers a receipt when they pay with a QR code?
