The way we pay has been permanently altered by QR Codes. Simply scan the code, input your pin, and complete the transaction! Although paying to a phone number is an option offered by the majority of UPI applications, QR Code payments are significantly more common than phone number payments.
 
Private citizens can also share their QR codes from their UPI app to receive money, in addition to large and small businesses.
 
With a smartphone camera or QR code scanner, scanning a QR code is simple. The utility and speed of QR codes are increased by their capacity to hold data both vertically and horizontally.


QR Code Full Form
'Quick Response Code' is the complete version of the 'QR code'. It is a two-dimensional code that displays information in the form of black squares on a white background, such as text or connections to websites. In 1994, the Japanese company Denso Wave developed the idea of QR codes. Rapid data sharing is made possible by these codes' quick encoding and decoding capabilities.
 

How Does A QR Code Work?
When a QR code is placed in front of a camera, the scanner starts to decipher its pattern. Black dots and squares on a white backdrop make up this design. The information in the QR code is decoded by the scanner, which then acts appropriately.
 

Types Of QR Code
QR codes come in a variety of forms, each with unique characteristics. Each code is designed differently and has a distinct function. The first kind is the numeric QR code, which helps with inventory management and serial number tracking by encoding numbers.
 
The alphanumeric QR code, which has both letters and numbers, is the second kind. It is helpful for information like text messages, phone numbers, and connections to websites.
 
When it comes to advertising applications, QR codes are crucial. Every app has its own QR code, which users may scan to download it. Additionally, this feature promotes user interaction.
 

QR codes facilitate access to websites, films, and other promotional information in addition to financial transactions. QR codes streamline the process and save needless traffic while placing goods or ticket orders.
