The Payconiq integration for Lightspeed Restaurant supports a dynamic QR code payment system that you can open on the POS. Once the QR code is on the screen, customers can scan it with their “Payconiq by Bancontact” app or with any bank app that supports Payconiq, and confirm the payment with a PIN, fingerprint of face scan. Once the payment is approved, the QR code screen will close, and the order will be marked as paid.
This integration is only available to users in Belgium.
