How do I scan a PIN's QR code?

1 minute read Updated 28 Oct 2026

Customer emails include a QR code holding the 16-digit PIN. The app reads it in any of these ways:

  • the device's built-in scanner: supported out of the box on Sunmi, Urovo, Newland, iData and Chainway devices;
  • scanners that type the code and press Enter (keyboard mode), on any device;
  • the camera, using the QR button on the till screen.

If your device's scanner isn't picked up, set its output to broadcast with the action com.afropin.terminal.SCAN and the extra data, or switch it to keyboard mode with an Enter suffix.
