QR Pay: the QR code for taking payments at the counter

With QR Pay you create a QR code to print for the counter, the table, a flyer or your market stall. The customer scans it and pays in seconds.

How the customer pays #

  • With the TWINT app: they pay directly with TWINT.
  • With the phone camera: your payment page opens with all activated methods (cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PostFinance Pay and the others).

Creating a QR code #

  1. In the menu, open QR Pay and click Create.
  2. Write a Title (30 characters at most): it appears in the payment confirmation, so use a clear name, such as «Sports ground bar».
  3. Choose the type of amount:
    • Fixed amount: for a price that is always the same, such as entry to an event.
    • Minimum amount: the customer pays at least this sum and can give more. Ideal for donations or tips.
    • Free amount: the customer types the amount themselves. The most convenient at the counter.
  4. Choose the currency: CHF, EUR or USD.
  5. In the advanced settings, leave TWINT scanning activated. Note: this choice cannot be changed later.
  6. If you need customer details, activate the Form fields (such as Purpose, so people state what they are paying for).
  7. Under notifications, add who should receive an e-mail for each payment, such as the treasurer.
  8. Choose the Look & Feel profile and the payment providers.
  9. Click the option to generate the QR code.

Currency and amount cannot be changed after creation: if prices change, create a new code.

Printing #

In your list of QR codes, you download the code and print it wherever you like. The code does not expire: you can use it for years. The list also shows how much you have taken with each code.

Practical tips #

  • Print the QR large, at least 5 x 5 cm, and write next to it «Pay here with TWINT or card».
  • At the counter with a free amount: ask to see the confirmation on screen before the customer leaves.
  • For evenings or festivals with many people, create a separate QR for each stand: the list shows at once how much each one took.
