What KHQR is, and how customers pay with it
KHQR is the QR code that Cambodian bank apps scan. Here is how it can be paid into your shop’s account, and how a customer pays.
- Who
- Everyone
KHQR is the QR code standard for banks in Cambodia. A customer scans it with a bank app, and the app pays the amount the code asks for. A shop can take KHQR in two ways, and the order says which bank it was paid into.
- Paid by itself, into your own account. Connect your store’s ABA PayWay or Bakong account, and the POS makes a KHQR for the exact amount. The money goes straight into your account, and the order marks itself paid once the bank confirms it. Connecting an account comes with Starter and up.
- Your printed QR, confirmed by hand. Add a picture of the QR your bank gave you. It prints under an unpaid bill, the customer types the amount in their bank app, and the cashier confirms the money once it is in. Any bank works this way, from Starter.
How a customer pays with KHQR
- The cashier picks ABA or Bakong in the payment window, for a connected account.
- The POS shows the QR with the amount, on the screen and on the customer screen.
- The customer scans it with a bank app and pays.
- A connected account marks the order paid by itself, and the receipt prints.
A KHQR made at the POS runs for 5 minutes. When it runs out, press New QR. KHQR takes riel and US dollars only: in another money, confirm by hand.
Other places a KHQR is shown
A printed bill can carry one too, so the customer can pay from the table: see the QR on the bill. A pick-up order can be paid by KHQR on the customer’s phone, and a rider can show one at the door.
