Request a Terminal checkout for a QR code payment

The Terminal APITerminal API supports multi-brand QR code payments by providing the payment_typepayment_type field in the TerminalCheckout object and the CheckoutOptionsPaymentTypeCheckoutOptionsPaymentType enumeration. When a payment_type has the QR_CODE enumerator value specified in the checkout request, the Terminal displays a multi-brand QR code for the buyer to scan. For example, if the seller supports the PayPay digital wallet brand, the buyer can make a PayPay payment by scanning the QR code.

The QR code supports digital wallets that are connected to a specific seller location and each seller account can have multiple locations. The following example shows a Terminal checkout request with the QR code payment_type. This checkout request launches the QR code screen on the Square Terminal:
