Square QR Code Payments
#9 in QR Payment · Rated 4.3
Square enables QR-based in-person and link-based payments
Square provides a built-in QR code generator to accept payments in-person, tableside, or through QR payment links. Merchants can display a QR code that customers scan to pay with cards or digital wallets (Apple Pay, Google Pay) directly from their phones. The feature is part of Square's broader unification of online and offline commerce, with supporting documentation and community guidance illustrating how to implement QR payments across venues and events. This makes Square a practical option for small- to mid-sized businesses that want a simple, card-present alternative without dedicated hardware.
