What Are QR Code Payments? A Complete Guide

What Are QR Code Payments?

QR code payments are a contactless payment method that allows consumers to pay for goods and services by scanning a Quick Response (QR) code with their smartphone.

How Do QR Code Payments Work?

The process is simple:

  1. Merchant displays a QR code — either printed at the point of sale or shown on a screen
  2. Customer scans the code — using their mobile wallet app (like DuePay)
  3. Payment is confirmed — the customer verifies the amount and confirms
  4. Money transfers instantly — both parties receive confirmation
