Payments
The payment process is as follows:
When the user selects the Zapper payment option on checkout and proceeds to finalize their order, they will be presented with Zapper Hosted Payment page.
If the user prefers the familiar convenience of our dynamic QR code solution, they can proceed by using the Zapper mobile app to effortlessly scan the on-screen QR Code. For users accessing the store from a mobile device, the QR Code is seamlessly replaced with a deep-link button, ensuring a smooth transition to the Zapper application.
However, if the user prefers to use their credit or debit card for payment, they can now opt for the new card payment option. This straightforward method allows users to directly input their card details and complete the payment process right on the spot.
Once the payment is successfully processed – whether through QR code scanning or card payment – users will receive a confirmation in the form of a checkmark symbol. With this assurance of payment, they will then be seamlessly redirected back to the store's default payment confirmation page.
By introducing this new card payment option alongside our existing QR code solution, we're committed to delivering a more inclusive and user-friendly payment experience that caters to a diverse range of customer preferences.
