Static QR at Point of Sale

How it works​

Static QR at point of sale (POS) is a solution where a user tells that they want to pay by scanning a QR (could be on a sticker), followed by the merchant sending a payment to that user.

The solution is a combination of the Merchant Callback QRs and the Vipps ePayment API.

The following describes the Static QR at point of sale process at a high-level.

Loyalty Flow

Step 1: The user scan the QR​

The user scans the static merchant callback QR. The QR could for example be shown on a screen, or be printed out and placed on a cash register, a portable pos or a vending machine

Step 2: Merchant receives an ID​

When the user scans the QR, the merchant will receive a notification that the QR has been scanned. Meanwhile, the Vipps/Mobilepay app will show a waiting screen to the user. Thus, the user understands that the scan was successful.

Step 3: Merchant sends payment​

When the merchant is ready to get paid, the merchant uses the ID received in previous step to send the payment to the user through the ePayments api.

Step 4: The user pays and get a receipt in the app​

Once the payment is sent by the merchant, the user will be shown the payment screen. If the user still has their app open, the payment will open automatically.
