The static QR code provides a clever alternative to merchants who do not have a consumer-facing display, but nevertheless want to issue their consumers a digital receipt.
In order to do so, a QR code that is unique to the store is generated once in the merchant dashboard. This QR code is printed and placed next to the cash register in the store. Anytime during the checkout process, consumers are able to scan this QR code.
Scanning this QR code directly opens a web-page on the consumer’s device, which generates a time-limited unique code. This code is then entered into the POS system by the cashier.
After successful payment, during the creation of the digital receipt, the code will be used to unambiguously allocate the receipt to the relevant consumer.
Once the digital receipt is created, the web-page on the consumer’s device refreshes and the digital receipt is shown.
