If the merchant has a barcode or QR code scanner, the merchant scans to complete the transaction. If the merchant doesn&#8217;t, then a four-digit code pops up on the shopper&#8217;s phone that can be entered into the PIN pad at checkout.<\/p>\n<p>According to the PayPal blog, Payment Code is an extension of the company&#8217;s offerings aimed at enhancing in-store payments. Their approach isn&#8217;t to push technology for technology&#8217;s sake, but to truly make the paying experience better for consumers and to give merchants more opportunity to innovate without a costly investment. When shoppers are ready to pay, they open the PayPal app (or the specific merchant&#8217;s app) and check in at that location, which will result in the app prompting them with a QR code, or a four-digit short code, to authenticate their purchase.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PayPal payments giant may finally have found a way to get people to use (Quick Response Code) QR Code.
