using qr codes to accept payments

Make getting paid faster and easier than ever! paymennt APIs provide an easy way to let your customers pay for their orders easily and securely. QR Payments are especially useful when the customer is trying to make an in-store payment or making in-person payment on delivery.

Integration flow​

  1. When a customer is ready to pay for their order, ٌYour system sends a Create QR checkout API call to paymennt API with the order details.
  2. The response from the API call includes the base64QR which is Base64 encoded QR code PNG image data. This QR Code contains the URL for the checkout payment page.
  3. Once you retrieve the QR image, you should present it to the customer ( On a mobile device, POS System, Web Page, or any kind of applicable display).
  4. Once the customer scans the QR and completes the payment, call the Get Checkout API call to retrieve the status.
  5. Based on the status of payment retrieved from the Get Checkout API call, you should update your order status on your system.
  6. You can automate updating your system by either registering a Webhook (see Webhooks API)
  7. Alternatively, each checkout is associated with a Google firebase document, the required firebase collection, database, and document names are included in the Create QR checkout API call response. see Get realtime updates with Cloud Firestore for more details.
