QR Codes for Faster Payments

MicroSale allows you to generate QR codes for receipts, making payments faster and more accurate. Perfect for setups with separate payment stations or kiosks.

How QR Codes Work

  1. Generate a QR Code

    1. Cashiers add items to the order.
    2. The system creates a QR code that includes:
      1. Item details (PLU codes, quantities, prices).

  2. Print the Receipt

    1. The receipt shows:
      1. A QR code.
      2. A summary of the purchased items.

  3. Customer Scans the QR Code

    1. Customers scan the QR code at a:
      1. Self-service kiosk.
      2. Payment station.
      3. Or with their smartphone.
    2. The QR code instantly retrieves:
      1. Transaction details (items, quantities, prices).

  4. Make Payment

    1. Customers pay using their preferred method:
      1. Credit card
      2. Mobile payment
      3. Cash

  5. Complete the Transaction

    1. Once payment is made:
      1. The system marks the transaction as complete.
      2. Inventory updates automatically.
      3. A final receipt (optional) is printed.

Benefits of QR Codes

    1. Faster Payments: Streamlines the checkout process for customers.
    2. Shorter Lines: Dedicated payment stations reduce congestion at the cashier.
    3. Error-Free Transactions: Eliminates manual entry errors by using PLU codes.

How to Set Up QR Codes in MicroSale

      1. Enable QR Code Printing

        1. Go to:
          Managers Menu > Register Setup > Register Options > Printer/Cash Drawer > Advanced Options.
        2. Turn on "Print QR Codes (PLU numbers) on receipt."

      2. Add PLU Codes to Menu Items

        2. Enter each item's PLU code in the PLU/Barcode field.

Special Use Cases for QR Codes

QR codes are ideal for environments where PLU details need to transfer into a separate POS system. The QR code consolidates all transaction data into one scannable image for seamless processing.
