Barcode payments use traditional 1D and 2D barcode formats already familiar in retail, ticketing, and logistics. They work with existing barcode scanners, making integration seamless with current infrastructure.
What types of barcodes are supported?
payware supports both 1D barcodes (like UPC, EAN) and 2D barcodes (including QR codes, Data Matrix, PDF417), providing maximum compatibility with existing retail and logistics systems.
Do I need new equipment for barcode payments?
No, barcode payments work with your existing barcode scanners and point-of-sale systems. Simple software integration connects your current hardware to payware's payment network.
Where are barcode payments most useful?
Barcode payments excel in retail checkout, bill payments, ticketing, logistics, inventory-linked payments, and any scenario where traditional barcode infrastructure already exists.
