CheckPlease QR Code Contactless Payment Setup Guide

This Contactless Payment feature lets guests pay for their order by scanning a QR code printed on the order receipt. When the QR code is scanned by any mobile device, it redirects the guest to a CheckPlease webapp, where the guest sees all ordered items along with the amount due.

The CheckPlease webapp can be customized to your logo. This personalization ensures that the webapp aligns with your brand identity, providing a seamless and professional experience for your guests.

This feature is native to PAR POS and PAR Pay and is powered by CheckPlease. To utilize this feature, enablement on the CheckPlease platform is also required. For assistance, please contact your sales representative or account manager.

NOTE: An additional Digital Service Fee is added to the check if payment is made by scanning the QR code. The Epson T88 printer supports this feature.
