Click to Pay with Visa is a game-changer when it comes to speed in online payment processes: Whereas customers were previously often forced to painstakingly type in their credit or debit card details, a one-time registration is now sufficient. This way, customers are automatically recognized at checkout and can easily select the stored cards and pay directly – all with just a few clicks.

A simplicity from which the QR Pay solution of the national payment provider Payrexx will benefit in the future. Payrexx QR Pay works similarly to what Swiss people are already familiar with from TWINT: Simply scan the QR code with a mobile phone and pay. However, Payrexx's solution goes one step further. Instead of exclusively using an app, these QR codes can be scanned directly with the smartphone camera, allowing a multitude of payment methods to be stored. This makes Payrexx QR Pay flexible to use and particularly attractive for merchants with international customers.

The biggest problem with this innovative solution: Anyone who wanted to pay with a credit or debit card via Payrexx QR Pay had to manually enter their card details – a time-consuming hurdle that Payrexx is now overcoming together with Visa. With the integration of Click to Pay, registered customers can now quickly and easily pay via QR code with their card.

"Our goal is a seamless payment experience, everywhere, for everyone. Click to Pay by Visa in QR Pay brings us a big step closer to this goal and sets the new standard for fast, hurdle-free payment," says Ivan Schmid, CEO and founder of Payrexx AG.

"Switzerland is a true pioneer in the introduction of this innovation. Such success is only possible in close collaboration with strong local partners like Payrexx. Especially small companies like farm shops, which often still rely on analog payments, can be supported on their way to digitization and serve their customers more easily, even if they don't have cash on hand," says Santosh Ritter, Country Manager Switzerland and Liechtenstein at Visa. "The industry has made great strides together in recent years in simplifying card payments online with Click to Pay. We're excited to see that the technology can do even more."

Exclusive Transaction Fees

To best establish the improved QR Pay solution from Payrexx for both existing and new merchants, a year-long promotion was launched together with Visa. Within this framework, Payrexx reduces the transaction costs to a low 1.25% + 0.00 CHF per payment – for all relevant Swiss payment methods! Because Payrexx QR Pay not only works with Visa, but also with Mastercard, TWINT, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. Additionally, another 200 national and international payment methods can be stored, including PayPal, Klarna, POWERPAY, or Centi.

As a small payment provider with regional roots, who started as a startup and worked its way up, Payrexx has a particular affinity for small businesses. Accordingly, the Thun-based payment provider has primarily focused on SMEs, non-profit organizations, associations, and clubs in recent years. The goal is to make accepting payments as easy as possible for all these companies – regardless of their capital or know-how.

Payrexx QR Pay is the ideal solution for merchants or individuals who want to generate a lot of impact with little effort. The QR codes can be integrated online or placed offline as stickers or table stands. Furthermore, no additional technology is needed, which speaks for a cost-saving application: As long as buyers' mobile phones have access to the internet, Payrexx QR Pay is ready for use.

The Payrexx QR payment solution stands out for its wide range of applications. Whether at club events, for market stalls, self-service businesses, or as part of vending machines: Payrexx QR Pay is already used in the most diverse ways today and will hopefully make everyday life easier for many more merchants in the future – thanks to Click to Pay with Visa!
