Here’s a brief guideline for scanning a cryptocurrency QR code to complete a payment:
- Open Your Crypto Wallet App:
- Launch your cryptocurrency wallet app (e.g., MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Coinbase, etc.) on your phone or computer.
- Select “Send” or “Pay” Option:
- Choose the option to send or pay crypto. This may be labeled as “Send,” “Pay,” or something similar, depending on your wallet.
- Scan the QR Code:
- Tap on the “Scan QR” or “Scan” button within your wallet app.
- Point your camera at the cryptocurrency QR code provided by the recipient.
- Verify Payment Details:
- Ensure that the wallet address, amount, and cryptocurrency type (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum) in the scanned QR code match the details you intend to send.
- Double-check the payment amount and ensure it’s correct.
- Confirm and Complete the Transaction:
- After verifying the details, confirm the transaction.
- Enter any required authentication details, such as your PIN or biometric verification (fingerprint/face ID).
- Approve the transaction to send the cryptocurrency.
- Wait for Confirmation:
- After the payment is sent, wait for confirmation on the blockchain (usually shown as a transaction status in your wallet). This may take a few minutes depending on the cryptocurrency.
- Receipt:
- You may receive a confirmation or receipt of the transaction, which you can keep for your records.
Make sure to double-check the recipient’s address and the amount before confirming, as cryptocurrency transactions are irreversible.
