Static QR Ph Code Functionality

A static QR Ph code is a QR code that is often used in standees, but can be also be shared in digital form. When customers scan a static QR Ph code using their payment app, they will need to enter the amount to be paid.

🚧

QR Ph Dashboard Accessibility

The In-store QRPh Dashboard is only accessible to the account owner of a PayMongo account.

The In-store QR Ph Dashboard is your central tool for managing in-person QR Ph payments.

Navigating the Dashboard

You can access the In-Store QR Ph module from the sidebar of your PayMongo Dashboard. Here, you can:

  • View All QR Ph Codes
    See a list of all your created QR Ph codes.
  • Create New QR Ph Codes
    Generate new static QR codes for different locations or purposes.
  • Manage & View Details
    Access detailed information about each QR Ph code, including its QR ID, internal notes, and associated mobile number for SMS notifications.
  • Download QR Ph Standee Images
    Get digital copies of your QR Ph standees for printing or digital display.

Creating an In-Store QR Ph Code

Follow these steps to generate a static QR Ph code from your dashboard:

  1. From the In-Store QR Ph module, click "Create QR Ph Code".
  2. Provide a mobile number for SMS notifications
    This is crucial for receiving instant alerts about successful transactions. You can nominate a dedicated store number or a number from your accounting/operations team.
  3. Add an internal note (optional)
    This note is only visible to you on the dashboard and helps distinguish payments if you have multiple QR codes (e.g., "Cashier 1," "Main Entrance").
  4. After submission, you can download the QR Ph standee image directly from the QR Code Details page.

Displaying your In-Store QR Ph Code

Effectively displaying your In-store QR Ph code is essential for customer convenience and successful transactions.

Size and Color Guidelines

  • Minimum QR Code Size
    If printing smaller than the 5x7 inch template, the QR code itself must be at least 2.5 x 2.5 inches (approx. 6.35 x 6.35 cm) to ensure scannability.
  • Color & Shape
    The QR Ph code should always be colored and square-shaped. Avoid stretching or distorting the code.
  • Testing
    Always test the printed QR Ph code with various banking apps/e-wallets before displaying it.

Layout Recommendations

  • Clarity
    Your Business's Trade Name or Store Name and the QR Ph logo must be clearly visible alongside the QR Ph code.
  • Logo Size
    The QR Ph logo should not appear visibly smaller than other logos on your standee.
  • Automatic Layout
    When downloaded from the PayMongo dashboard, the layout is automatically set according to Bancnet standards for QR Ph standees. Editing this layout for printed standees is not recommended as it may affect scannability and compliance.

Printing Tips

  • Material
    Use a sintra board or acrylic display standee for durability and professional appearance.
  • Minimum Standee Size
    Aim for a minimum standee size of 5x7 inches (12.7 x 17.8 cm).
  • Finish
    A matte material is recommended to prevent glare from lights, which can cause scanning issues.

Ideal Display Locations and Uses

  • Checkout Counter
    The most common and convenient placement for quick payments during checkout.
  • Restaurant Tables and Bill Folds
    Allows diners to conveniently scan and pay for their orders directly at their table.
  • Social Media & Messaging Apps
    A soft copy of your QR Ph code can be sent to customers for remote payments (e.g., for online orders, reservations, or delivery services). This allows you to accept payments even without a physical interaction.
