Depending upon the type of business you own, it would be a great option to explore. Payments can be made for any type of monetary exchange.

QR Code: The barcode system has been around for several years. This is a system that keeps on expanding and becoming better. Scanning methods are less time consuming and literally the method transcends wait times on order processing. Bar codes have been used on smart phones and other applications all in the move toward going completely paperless, and plastic-free. Clients who are allowed to make payments or place orders by scanning a barcode and having money instantly transferred out of their account will undoubtedly enjoy the experience.
