Overview
QR payments are a dominant payment method in many markets and a growing one elsewhere. We build QR payment platforms for wallets, banks and PSPs: merchant QR generation (static and dynamic), consumer scan-to-pay, support for national interoperable QR standards where applicable, instant payment scheme integration and merchant reconciliation.
Common use cases
- Wallet scan-to-payConsumer wallet QR payments.
- Merchant QR acceptanceLow-cost acceptance for small merchants.
- Bill and invoice QRPay bills by scanning.
- Interoperable QRNational standard QR codes.

Architecture
Engineered right from day one
The layers we typically design for payments infrastructure, adapted to your stack and partners.
- Idempotency everywhereEvery mutating API and webhook handler is safe to retry.
- PCI scope reductionTokenisation and hosted fields keep card data out of most systems.
- Provider redundancyFailover routing reduces the impact of provider outages.
- Exact accountingMinor units, currency precision and fee attribution handled consistently.
Delivery
How an engagement runs

Frequently asked questions
Are QR payments secure?
With dynamic codes, signed payloads and in-app confirmation, QR payments are secure; static codes need anti-tampering measures and merchant verification.
Which markets use QR standards?
Many markets have national QR standards linked to instant payment schemes; support depends on scheme access through partners.
Do you process payments directly?
No. Shivacha builds the software; payments are processed by licensed acquirers, PSPs and banks that you contract with. Our platforms integrate and orchestrate those providers.
Can you help reduce payment failures?
Yes, through smart routing, retries, network tokenisation, local payment methods and analytics on decline reasons — all subject to your provider agreements.
