Practically every Swiss person knows TWINT. In 2023, a whole 5 million people were already using the app. And, as the online retailer survey 2023 showed, you can now pay with TWINT at almost 80 percent of all online retailers. And TWINT has also implemented a 'Buy now, pay later' solution with 'TWINT pay later'.

But TWINT also has its disadvantages. One of these is that you can only pay via TWINT by having the money directly debited from your own bank account or the linked credit card. If you prefer to pay using another digital wallet or payment method, such as Apple Pay, Alipay, or iDEAL, you cannot use TWINT. This is particularly limiting for businesses that focus on international customers. Travelers from China visiting Switzerland will appreciate being able to pay with the familiar WeChat Pay. Additionally, tourists usually do not have a TWINT app, which makes it impossible for them to scan the code.

This problem is solved by Payrexx QR Pay. The innovative tool offers you the simplicity and speed of TWINT and opens the door to the global market for you. When you create your QR code through Payrexx, you can choose which payment methods you want to offer. At the same time, creating the code is just as simple as with the TWINT application. And: The QR code you create with Payrexx can be scanned both through the TWINT app and directly via the camera function of any smartphone. So you get two codes in one.

   With Payrexx QR Pay, you can accept payments in all popular payment methods, such as TWINT, PostFinance, Mastercard, Visa, Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, and many more. You neither need to deal with individual companies nor banks, carry out complicated registrations, or read through contracts. At Payrexx, you get everything from a single source.

A thousand and one application possibilities

The new payment tool from Payrexx is not only easy to handle and quick to apply, but you can also use the innovative tool in countless situations. Here are some thought exercises:

Payrexx QR Pay requires no additional infrastructure. Suppose your football club is hosting a club festival and wants to sell tickets on site. Organizing the celebration is already enough effort; a complete cash register system would be an additional investment. With Payrexx QR Pay, you neither need a terminal nor a cash register, just the printed QR code. This eases preparations and makes for a festival that even the organizers can enjoy!

Payrexx QR Pay works completely autonomously. Suppose you own a farm shop in the countryside. The business should operate even when you're not constantly on site. Thanks to Payrexx QR Pay, passersby and hikers can pay even without your presence: The process is simple, after scanning, customers are guided step by step and depending on the purchase, they can enter the amount themselves. The payment process becomes a self-runner.

Payrexx QR Pay is also usable offline. Suppose you run a Après-Ski Bar in winter, high up on the mountain, away from an internet connection. While most terminals require a WLAN connection, Payrexx QR Pay works for you as a merchant even without a network. Since you have defined and taken the QR codes with you at home, only the customers' smartphones need to have reception. You yourself do not need to set up a router in the bar.

Whether farm shop, vending machine or tickets for a spontaneous event: With Payrexx QR Pay, you can sell everything quickly and easily.

Payrexx QR Pay knows no boundaries. Suppose you are organizing a charity event for a charitable organization. To reach as many people as possible, you go to a busy place in the city – and automatically meet many tourists. Even if they are convinced by your cause, travelers usually don't carry enough cash with them. And filling out sensitive contact information in a form is an additional deterrent. With Payrexx QR Pay, the payment process is not only low-threshold, but you can also implement a variety of payment methods. This way, visitors from all over the world can do good – and with their trusted payment method.

Payrexx QR Pay operates via dynamic interfaces. Suppose your cheese dairy decides to set up a vending machine – so that customers can stock up on your infamous fondue even on Sundays. The vending machine technology itself is already complex and expensive, so implementing a payment provider should be as simple as possible. Payrexx QR Pay is ideal for this: Thanks to our API, you can integrate Payrexx into your software with little effort. The QR codes are then created via a dynamic interface and each purchase receives an individual code. Does that sound incredibly complicated? Our developers are, of course, happy to help you
