With a mobile device or barcode scanner that can scan QR codes, you can collect payments from customers by scanning the QR codes stored in their mobile wallets. Barcode scanners also efficiently work with or connect to barcode-based loyalty programs, allowing you to swiftly scan customers’ physical loyalty cards or the barcode on their mobile device. This way, they will earn points or discounts instantly during transactions.
A good example is CVS Pay. A cashier scans the barcode, then the customer picks a payment method in the app, pays for items, picks up prescriptions, and earns loyalty points.
