WeChat Pay In-store: Merchant QRC
In this flow, the consumer scans a QR code that the merchant presents at the Point of Sale terminal.
In this scenario, the consumer sees the payment QR code on a physical device. The device can:
- Open the PPRO-hosted payment page (via a web browser)
- Use the
SPECOUT.QRCODEURLoutput parameter value to generate the payment QR code locally (preferred)
Optionally, you can use the SPECOUT.EXPIRYTIMESTAMP specific output parameter to indicate for how long the payment QR code will be valid.
The consumer can use the WeChat application to pay. After the consumer pays on their phone, PPRO sends you a notification on the transaction status change. You must notify the merchant / POS device to confirm the payment.
Caution
Do not poll PPRO for transaction status. Wait for PPRO's notification to trigger a status pull for the final transaction state.
Note
PPRO only offers support with the Payment Gateway integration itself. We do not support POS device driving or other aspects of the end-merchant presentation of WeChat Pay.
