Payment by Quick Response (QR) code allows users to simply scan a QR code displayed by a merchant using a smartphone or similar device in order to pay.
This initiates a secure transfer of funds from the user’s account to the recipient. It enables the payment process by eliminating the need for cash or cards. QR codes are multi-functional and can be used for various types of transactions, making them convenient for both consumers and businesses. They offer a fast, secure, and contactless payment solution in today’s increasingly digital world.
Frequently used in several sectors especially in Horeca, Wellness, Marketplaces, QR codes have evolved since their inception in the 1990s to become an essential tool in electronic payments.
As already mentioned in our recent blog post “Pay by Link”, these virtual payment methods have grown exponentially over the last 10 years, including the Covid period.
Their increasing adoption and impact on financial transactions attest to their effectiveness and potential to revolutionize global commerce. This article showcases QR code payments’ components, highlighting their unique advantages, demonstrating concrete use cases and impact on the global financial ecosystem.
QR codes simplify the payment process, requiring only a smartphone with a camera and a payment app.
Transactions are typically faster compared to traditional methods like cash or card payments.
Payment QR codes use encryption and tokenization, reducing the risk of fraud or identity theft.
This solution reduces the need for physical infrastructure such as card terminals or cash handling, helping businesses to save money.
QR codes enable transactions even in remote areas with limited banking infrastructure.
QR codes can be seamlessly integrated into various platforms and systems, enhancing the overall payment ecosystem.

Paying by QR code on a paper invoice involves the following steps:
A Digiteal customer since 2020, their main requirement was to be able to generate a payment QR code on the smartphones of their 200 service providers.
Ajusto is a marketplace that connects private individuals with a qualified (and verified) local contractor for home repair, maintenance and installation requests.
Depending on the type of work to be carried out (boiler repair, electrical installation, etc.), a professional will visit the customer. Once the work has been completed and before leaving the premises, the professional asks the customer to pay the balance and/or the entire invoice via the Ajusto application.
Ajusto wanted to be able to generate a payment QR code in its business application, via a tablet, so that the customer could scan it via their smartphone and proceed with payment. Equipping each independent specialist with a payment terminal was too costly and logistically inefficient an option.
Payment is now 100% digital, secure and fast. The main added value: immediate payment has a positive effect on collection.
A unique payment QR code is generated through the Digiteal API and presented on the Pro’s tablet. The customer scans the QR code with their banking application or via a QR reader. The customer pays using the method of their choice. The Ajusto Pro immediately receives confirmation that the payment has been validated.
Tip: as a back-up, the Pro can trigger the sending of an invoice by email with a payment button.
“We are delighted with the solution implemented by Digiteal, which fits in perfectly with the highly digitized experience we deliver via the Ajusto platform; from online booking of an intervention, right through to payment of the invoice.
What’s more, Digiteal was the only partner in Belgium enabling us to offer a payment framework adapted to our marketplace model, with transaction amounts transiting via the platform to maximize security and trust between the parties.
Their ability to think and implement tailor-made solutions therefore made all the difference.”
