Payment solution for small shops, market stalls, or vending machines: QR Pay

For small shops, market stalls, or takeaway businesses, every minute and every dollar counts. Today's customers want to pay quickly and contactlessly, while merchants want to save on fees and avoid expensive card terminals. This is exactly where Payrexx QR Pay comes in—now in combination with Visa Click to Pay.

QR Pay is already used and highly valued by many retailers with very different business models. Whether it's a market stall, coffee shop, farm shop, or vending machine, QR payment codes are quick to create, intuitive to use, and can be used almost anywhere.

And thanks to the partnership with Visa Click to Pay, merchants also benefit from particularly low fees of just 1.25% + $0.00 per transaction.

Examples of use in everyday business life

For which businesses is QR Pay particularly useful, and how can it be used to simplify everyday business and payment processing? We take a look at three typical examples of its use.

The ceramic market stall – selling without additional hardware

A merchant stands at the craft market selling her handmade ceramics. She no longer wants to offer cash as the only payment option, because many customers simply don't have any on them. However, an expensive card reader is not worth it, because it is costly and will only be used occasionally.

With QR Pay, she can now simply attach a QR payment code to her stand, which customers can scan with their smartphones and pay directly—for example, via credit card, TWINT, or mobile wallet. Thanks to Click to Pay, this is particularly quick: customers register once and save their card details for all future purchases, saving them the hassle of typing in their card details.

The takeaway café – fast service, less waiting time

In a small takeaway café, things have to move quickly during peak hours. Long queues or cumbersome payment processes slow down service—and cost nerves and revenue.

With a QR payment code, customers simply scan the code and pay using their preferred payment method. This works for both regular customers and tourists without local payment apps such as TWINT.

While the payment is being processed, the café can already start preparing the coffee. This means everyone benefits from faster service.

The self-service farm shop – pay without cash

Many farms have their own farm shops or vending machines for fresh cheese, vegetables, or meat. Since these shops are usually unattended, cash payment is often the only option. The money is simply deposited in a cash box.

QR Pay makes it easier for customers to pay and is also available for spontaneous customers who don't have any cash with them. The payment code is simply attached to the stand as a sticker, and customers can immediately pay using all common payment methods—whether by credit card, mobile wallet, TWINT, or other popular payment methods.

This not only makes customers happy, but also the farm shop owner. The money goes straight into the Payrexx account, and they don't have to empty the cash register first.

Conclusion

For small and medium-sized Swiss retailers and self-service stores, QR Pay with Visa Click to Pay is a real win: simple, contactless payment combined with attractive fees. Anyone who wants to offer their customers fast service while keeping an eye on costs should definitely try this solution.
