What is the difference between UPI QR Code and Bharat QR code?

UPI QR Code:

  • Accepts only UPI-based payments (from person to person or person to business).
  • Can be used for both personal and business transactions.

Bharat QR Code:

  • Accepts UPI, credit, and debit card payments.
  • Can only be used for person-to-business transactions.
  • Primarily intended for businesses.

Static vs. Dynamic QR Codes

Static QR Code:

  • Has an open amount.
  • Customers enter the payment amount during the transaction.

Dynamic QR Code:

  • Has a fixed amount pre-set.
  • Customers can only pay the exact amount specified.

Benefits of Using QR Codes

  • Cost-effective: Cheaper than traditional POS machines.
  • Easy to manage: Simple to generate, print, and display.
  • Contactless: No need for physical cash or change.
  • Quick and efficient: Scanning and paying are faster than manual entry.
  • Government compliant: Dynamic QR codes adhere to GST regulations.
