A QR code, short for Quick Response code, is a pattern of black and white squares put together in a grid. This pattern holds information that machines can understand. With just a smartphone or camera, you can quickly scan this pattern to access the stored data, making it easy and convenient to use.

When payment is required for goods or services, merchants can present a QR code to their customer, either at an online checkout or instore (through a terminal, AP+ Bridge compatible POS, desktop or smartphone) and the basket items, payment amount and type (and optional extras such as loyalty), are routed through AP+ Bridge, via a digital wallet, returning to both the consumer and merchant a status of the entire transaction.

QR codes allows more data and information to be exchanged between the customer and the merchant.

Your terminal provider or bank can help you get started and walk you through the setup process. They will help you register your business and enable the technology for online and in-store acceptance.

If you are creating a digital wallet or integrating QR features to an existing app, both development work and AP+ certification are essential. Please reach out to us using the Contact form to find out more.
