In a BQR-based payment setting, a customer uses a BQR-enabled mobile app to scan a BQR code deployed on the merchant store. Upon a successful scan, customer is redirected to a checkout page where they enter their card details and proceeds with the payment for the charged amount. Once the payment is complete, both merchant and customer are notified of the payment status. Once the payment is successfully authorized and captured it is settled to your bank account as per your settlement schedule.

- UPI
