QR Payments

I have never used Square, so starting from completely ignorant. I am getting mixed messages from the help desk.

I would like to set up a QR payment system where visiting fishermen can scan a QR code, select adult, child or family and then pay for their day ticket. Ideally there would be a mandatory vehicle registration area.

Is this something that could be done with Square.

It needs to be simple as many of the visitors will be elderly and/or technophobic!

Many thanks

Welcome to Square! 😊 And yes, you should be able to get pretty close to what you’re describing.

I’d look at setting up Square Online with your different day-ticket options (Adult, Child, Family) and then using a QR code that takes visitors directly to that page to purchase. That would keep the customer side really simple: scan → choose ticket → pay.

The one piece I’d investigate a little further before building everything is the mandatory vehicle registration field. You’ll want to make sure you can require that information during checkout in the setup available to you in the UK, rather than finding out afterward that customers can skip it.

Since you mentioned many visitors may be elderly or not particularly comfortable with technology, I’d personally avoid adding unnecessary steps. One QR code leading directly to the ticket choices would probably be much easier than separate codes or a complicated online store.

I’d also keep a backup payment option available for anyone who simply can’t use the QR system. 😊

Hopefully someone here using Square in the UK for a similar self-service setup can chime in about how they’re collecting required information at checkout. The fishing/day-ticket use case is actually a really interesting one!
