QR payments
Phone camera checkout
QR payments are transactions made by scanning a Quick Response code with a smartphone, linking to a payment system that transfers funds electronically.
The payer typically scans a merchant's displayed code or presents their own code to be scanned.
Common in Asia and growing elsewhere, QR payments bypass the need for cash or physical cards: The street vendor only accepts QR payments.
