Frequently asked questions

1. Why doesn't my QR code scan with my barcode scanner?
   A QR code requires a 2D barcode scanner. Verify that your hardware is compatible.
2. I don't have a 2D barcode scanner. Can I manually enter the transaction ID under the QR code at the POS?
   No. The QR code must be scanned at the POS. If you don't have a 2D barcode scanner, we recommend disabling the Original Transaction ID return requirement in the POS settings.
   • Access the POS Settings.
   • Go to the POS tab.
   • Select Return Info.
   • Turn off Original Transaction ID.
3. How do I rule out format issues with the QR code?
   Most cellular phones allow you to scan QR codes using the built-in camera app. Open your camera app and point it steadily for 2-3 seconds towards the QR code you want to scan. The transaction code should appear.
