A QR code is a square-shaped, digital pattern designed to provide a seamless and efficient way to facilitate transactions.
By simply scanning the QR code, customers can initiate conversations with a vendor's shop. Each business is assigned a unique QR code that directs customers to the vendor's shop on Vendy, ensuring a smooth and convenient shopping experience.
How Vendy's QR Code Works:
1. Locate the QR Code:
Request the QR code from a Vendy merchant. This code contains a direct link to the vendor's shop.
2. Use a QR Code Scanner:
Open your smartphone’s camera app, as many devices now come with built-in QR code scanning capabilities. If not, you can easily download a free QR code scanner from your app store.
3. Open the Scanner App:
Launch the scanner app and grant permission to access your camera. The app will transform your phone into a digital reader that can decode the QR code's information.
4. Scan the QR Code:
Point your camera at the QR code, ensuring it's well-lit and clearly visible. The scanner will automatically detect the code and display the embedded information.
5. Access the Shop Link:
Once scanned, the app will present a link to the vendor’s shop. Tap the link, and you’ll be redirected to the shop via WhatsApp.
6. Browse & Select Items:
Explore the shop's inventory, select the items you wish to purchase, and add them to your cart. Follow the prompts to enter delivery or pickup details, review terms and conditions, and provide the necessary customer information.
7. Make a Payment:
When you're ready, proceed to payment. Choose from the available payment options and follow the instructions to complete the transaction.
8. Receive Receipt & Confirmation:
After payment, you’ll receive a digital receipt or transaction confirmation directly in your WhatsApp chat with Vendy.
