Click to Pay with Visa is a game changer when it comes to speed in online payment processes: In the past, customers were often forced to painstakingly type their credit or debit card details, but now a one-time registration is 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 that the QR Pay solution of the national payment provider Payrexx will benefit from in the future. Payrexx QR Pay works similarly to what Swiss people are already familiar with from TWINT: Just scan the QR code with your mobile phone and pay. However, the Payrexx solution goes one step further. Instead of exclusively using an app, these QR codes can be scanned directly with the smartphone camera, and a variety of payment methods can be stored. This makes Payrexx QR Pay flexibly usable and particularly attractive for Comerciante:innen with international customers.

The biggest problem with this innovative solution: Those who previously wanted to pay by credit or debit card via Payrexx QR Pay had to manually enter their card details — a time-consuming hurdle that Payrexx now overcomes together with Visa. With the integration of Click to Pay, registered customers can now also 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 claim and sets the new standard for fast payments without barriers,” 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 through close collaboration with strong local partners like Payrexx. Especially small businesses like farm shops, which have often still relied on analog payments, can be supported on the path to digitization and can serve their customers more easily, even when they don’t have cash with them,” says Santosh Ritter, Country Manager Switzerland and Liechtenstein at Visa. “The industry has made great progress together over the past few years in simplifying card payments online with Click to Pay. We are excited to see that the technology can do even more.”

Exclusive transaction fees

To establish the improved QR Pay solution from Payrexx as effectively as possible with both existing and new Comerciante:innen, a one-year promotion was launched in collaboration with Visa. Within this framework, Payrexx reduces transaction costs to a low 1.25% + 0.00 EUR 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, for example, PayPal, Klarna, POWERPAY, or Centi.

As a small payment provider with regional roots that started as a start-up and worked its way up, Payrexx is particularly focused on small businesses. Accordingly, the Thun payment provider has mainly focused on SMEs, non-profit organizations, clubs, and associations in recent years. The goal is to make it as easy as possible for all these organizations to accept payments — regardless of their capital or know-how.

Payrexx QR Pay is the ideal solution for Comerciante:innen or individuals who want to generate a lot of impact with little effort. The QR codes can either be embedded online or placed offline as stickers or table stands. Moreover, no additional technology is required, which speaks for a cost-effective use: As long as buyers' mobile phones have access to the Internet, Payrexx QR Pay is ready for use.

The QR payment solution from Payrexx is characterized by a variety of application possibilities. Whether at club festivals, for market stalls, self-service shops, or as part of vending machines: Payrexx QR Pay is already used in a variety of ways today and hopefully will ease the everyday life of many more Comerciante:innen in the future — thanks to Click to Pay with Visa!
