How QR code system will Work?
Suppose a consumer visits a nearby grocery shop and purchase any soap or rice worth Rs 50, once QR system is available, then the customer will only scan a QR code provide by the merchant on his smartphone and enter the amount. So, the cashless transaction is done by the customer.
On the flipside, the payment processing payment organizations will collaborate with shopkeepers and provide a QR code to him which is directed linked to his bank amount. As soon as the customer makes the payment via QR code, the amount would be directly shifted to the linked bank account. The same thing will happen for customers also.
If you have the Visa, MasterCard and Rupay app then you can make a payment through QR codes through your mobiles.
