Created in 1994, a QR code, short for quick response code, is a digital barcode used for fast and smooth information exchange in digital transactions. 

In payments, QR codes present transaction details in a format that machines can read. When a customer scans it with their smartphone or device, it starts a payment without them having to type in information. 

The encoded details can include the customer's account info, transaction amount, or other payment specifics. This digital way of representing transaction data makes payments quicker and easier for both businesses and customers.

 

How are QR codes used for payments?

1. Retail stores can simplify in-person payments by having a fixed QR code at the checkout. Customers just need to scan the code with a mobile payment app on their smartphone. This automatically inputs the store's payment details and asks the customer to enter the payment amount. This makes the checkout process smoother, removing the need for cash or physical cards.

2. E-commerce businesses have the option to integrate QR codes on their website's checkout page or in email invoices. Customers can scan the QR code to initiate payment without the need to manually add payment details. This not only streamlines the payment process but also improves security by reducing the chances of data entry errors.

3. Just like retail stores utilize QR codes, restaurants and cafes can incorporate QR codes on bills or tables for customers to scan. This allows them to access the menu and pay for their meals directly from their phones. This accelerates the ordering and payment procedures.
