What are QR code payments?
QR code payments are quick readable codes that you present to your customers. When the QR code is scanned, the customers are directed to a secure checkout portal to complete payment, so you don't need to share your bank details.
How to take payments using QR codes
Our QR code payments feature allows you to take payments on-the-go using your phone. They are a quick and secure way to take payments without having to share bank details.
Open the Pomelo app and enter the amount to be charged.
At this point, your unique, secure QR code is generated.
Tap in the amount you want to charge your customer.
Ask them to scan the code by hovering their phone camera over the QR code.
When the customer scans your QR code, they will see a notification pop up on their phone screen.
The customer must open this notification, where they will be taken to a payment page to pay by credit or debit card, Apple Pay or Google Pay.
An email receipt can then be sent to the customer.
Note: most Apple and Google devices have a built-in QR code scanner that automatically recognises the code.
