How it works
The processing of payments for goods using Payconiq Payments consists of one step, during which the capture of the payment takes place.

The following diagram illustrates the steps involved in capture payment that are relevant to you as a merchant.

- The consumer is redirected to a payment page where they are presented with an option to scan a QR code.
- The consumer scans their QR code and confirms the payment in the Payconiq app.
- The merchant receives the payment confirmation of the payment.
- The merchant can ship the order/deliver the goods to the consumer.
