How QR codes work
QR codes let clients pay instantly by scanning a unique code you generate at checkout. The code opens a secure payment page where they can review the sale, select a payment method, and complete the transaction.
Collect payments with a QR code
You can collect payments using client stored cards when completing an appointment or sale.
After building your cart and making any adjustments, you’re ready to take a payment using a QR code.
- To create a new sale, you can either raise a new sale or select Checkout from an appointment and make any adjustments to the cart.
- In the right panel of the cart view, click on the Continue to payment button at the bottom.
- In the left panel, under Payment methods, select QR code from the options, then click on the Pay now button.
- A QR code will appear for your client to scan with their mobile device’s camera, directing them to add their card and complete the payment.
- When the client has made a payment, your page will refresh with the completed sale.
Once the payment has been processed, a sale receipt is created, which you can share with the client by email or print.
