With the deconfinement and the fear of the spread of the virus, more and more customers favor contactless payment methods during their checkout. This is the moment when PayPal decides to deploy a new payment method based on the QR code. Here's how it works

Pay for purchases with the PayPal app

During this Covid-19 epidemic, businesses must adapt to new restrictions while reassuring their customers. The new payment system unveiled by PayPal takes into account all of its social distancing rules..

The PayPal app now allows consumers to make payments by scanning to a QR code using a simple smartphone. This device has several advantages. Firstly, it allows to maintain a distance of more than one meter between the seller and the buyer.

And above all, it saves customers from having to manipulate the payment terminal to type their secret code. As you know, manipulations are often conducive to the transmission of the disease. Electronic terminals and tickets can spread the virus..

This payment method could very quickly establish itself as a barrier gesture in the face of the epidemic and above all allow traders to return to normal activity. This is in any case what the WHO (World Health Organization) suggests. In a press release, she recommends paying for her purchases with a contactless smartphone or bank card to stop the spread of the epidemic.

Make contactless payments with PayPal

With Paypal's QR code system, you will no longer need to handle money or card readers that have already been affected by other uses. Everything happens on your smartphone using the PayPal application..

  • Open the PayPal app
  • Click on the scan button
  • Place the objective of your phone with the QR code of your merchant.
  • Then enter the amount of the invoice for your purchases
  • Then show the cashier the payment confirmation displayed on your smartphone screen
  • No need to cheat, she will receive a notification telling her that the transaction has been completed

Important detail, payments by PayPal QR code are not subject to any transaction costs for the customer. And unlike other contactless payment solutions, the risk of fraud remains minor. A stolen smartphone without the unlock code cannot be used to make payments.

Payment by QR code PayPal has just been deployed in 28 countries including France, Germany, Italy, Greece, the Netherlands and Malta. This type of mobile payment has already existed for several years in many countries in Asia. In these regions, QR codes are displayed everywhere, at the cash desks of stores or on the tables of cafes and restaurants.
