QR Code® Payments with American Express
Provide a simple, convenient digital payment solution
Overview
As payment technology evolves and customers seek new ways to pay, QR Codes are becoming more popular as an alternative solution for Merchants and Issuers to expand their customer’s payment options and use their mobile devices to pay.
American Express offers two QR Code based payment solutions to help Issuers and Acquirers meet the needs of their Cardmembers and Merchants:
American Express Merchant-Presented QR Code: The merchant displays the QR Code in store by form of a decal or through a terminal, and the Cardmembers uses their smartphone to scan the QR Code.
American Express Consumer-Presented QR Code: Cardmembers generate a QR Code from their mobile wallet or banking app and the Merchant scans the QR Code as a form of payment.
