Payment methods

Your customers can use all payment methods that you have activated in your zahls.ch account to make payments.

Creating a QR Code

Navigate to QR Pay in the merchant administration of your zahls.ch account.
Click the create button.
Configure the following settings for your QR code:

Title: This text will be displayed on the stickers, table displays, and in the payment confirmation.

Amount type: Choose between a fixed amount, a minimum amount, and an open amount:

A fixed amount is suitable when you are selling a product or service with a clearly defined price.
A minimum amount can be useful for donations or if you want to give the customer the option to pay more voluntarily for a product or service (tip).
Select open amount if the customer should choose the amount to pay.

Currency and amount: Select the currency and the amount (only for "Fixed amount" and "Minimum amount"). This setting cannot be changed later.

Supports TWINT scan: Specify whether the QR code can be scanned using the TWINT app in addition to the smartphone camera. This setting is enabled by default if you have a verified zahls.ch account. Once the QR code is created, this setting cannot be reversed.

Form fields: The form fields you enable with the checkbox must be completed by the customer during the payment process.

If you activate the "Purpose" field, the customer can provide a custom payment purpose.
The content of the general terms and conditions and privacy policy can be defined under Settings > Legal. If you enable these two fields, the customer must accept them.

Notification when payment is received: By checking the "Add recipient" box, you can define additional email addresses to be notified when a payment is received for the selected QR code. Further notification settings can be found under Settings > Notifications.

Look & Feel: Customize the visual appearance of the payment page and payment confirmation by selecting the desired Look & Feel profile.

Payment service provider: Specify which payment providers should be available to the customer for making a payment.

Tips and tricks for stickers

Choose a highly visible position for the stickers.
The stickers are weatherproof, but exposure to rain and sun will cause them to age faster. Therefore, it's best to select a somewhat sheltered location to extend the lifespan of the stickers.
Clean the surface before applying the stickers.
Gently press the edges and corners to ensure the stickers stay in place later on.
Place the explanatory sticker right next to the QR code sticker. Especially new customers may not yet know how to scan the QR code.
