QR code options for unmanned produce stand?

Hello All,

We live in a very rural area. I'm going to have a small unmanned roadside produce stand. Everything will be priced in full dollar increments. This is just a way local folks can buy some produce since most of our sales are 60 miles away in the city.

Some examples: Melons $6 each, squash $1 each, bag of lettuce mix $5, bunched greens $2 each

What I'm hoping to do is customer picks what they want, adds up the total and owes say $12. Can there be 1 QR code they scan then they type in $12 and initiate payment?

Or do I need QR codes posted for different amounts?

Thoughts?

Thank you

Randy

I was able to set up a payment link for a donation that they put in the amount they want after scanning a QR code.

It doesn't add up the items and give a total, but maybe that is a bit advanced for an honor system stand. At least this is a way to get paod via CC. Not exactly what I think you were looking for, but it may work.

Hello

That is what I'm looking for, they scan a QR code and then they input the total to pay. Is that just to simple I couldn't figure it out? HA.

So just a simple QR code without a total?

from this page chose "Accept a Donation"
click continue
add title and if wanted add an image
click save
click QR code
click download to download the QR code to print it etc.

scanning that should bring them to an open amount donation page.
