The cash register of the future: QR codes

What is a QR Code?

With our payment partner Payrexx you can use the QR Pay tool to quickly and easily create QR payment codes. But what exactly are these QR codes?

QR is the abbreviation for Quick Response . It is a two-dimensional barcode that contains, for example, a website link or payment information.

Customers simply need to scan the QR code with their smartphone camera and they will be directed to the desired page without having to laboriously type in any information. So it is indeed a "quick answer".

Why are QR codes so popular?

Contactless payment is becoming increasingly popular, and the Corona pandemic has made people even more aware of it – even those who previously did not care much about cashless payments.

Many customers appreciate that QR payment codes allow them to only use their mobile phone to make purchases and do not always have to carry their wallet with all kinds of cards and additional cash.

What advantages do you have as a retailer?

QR payment codes are extremely convenient for your customers – but you also benefit from the practical squares:

• Cost-effective: You don't need an expensive terminal device for your point of sale. A poster or stand with the QR code on it is sufficient. Or you can let your customers scan the QR code on their smartphone to be directed to the payment page.
• Versatile: Whether you run a restaurant or hotel, sell your products in a shop or at a market stall, distribute flyers or collect donations - the QR payment code can be used in almost any industry.
• Fast payment processing: Reduce queues and long waiting times by letting your customers easily and quickly scan the QR code and pay via your payment page.

How a non-profit organization uses the QR-Pay tool

The non-profit association Walk-in-Closet Switzerland is committed to a more sustainable fashion world. You can exchange new items of clothing via the online exchange and at locations in Switzerland - and thus counteract excessive clothing consumption.

At their clothing exchanges , Walk-in Closet site managers use a printed QR payment code from Payrexx. This way, visitors to the clothing exchanges can easily scan the QR code at the entrance and pay for entry using their preferred payment method .
