Сервис взаимодействия с платежными кодами (в частности, универсальным QR) в России: 1. Сообщите кассиру или официанту, что хотите совершить оплату по QR-коду*, 2. Наведите PAYQR на QR-код на кассе или в банковском терминале, 3. Завершите платеж, следуя подсказкам на экране. * Или выберите оплату по QR-коду (может называться по-разному) на кассе самообслуживания, в интернет-магазине, онлайн-сервисе и так далее. Современно и безопасно! Также в скором времени платежи по QR-кодам будут приводить к начислению баллов PAYQR, которые можно менять на деньги (на счета в российских банках, подключенных к СБП). Помимо платежных, PAYQR помогает качественно распознавать и любые другие QR-коды. Больше 10 лет работаем для вас! По любым вопросам: zabota@payqr.ru
