Xumm launched QR-payment function for retail storesDevelopers Xumm and XRPL Labs have launched a QR-payment feature that allows users to make payments at retail stores using an XRPL wallet. The developers said they installed the first terminal at 36aWay, a sandwich and pasta store in the Netherlands. The solution was created in partnership with Frii, a loyalty program platform.
XRPL Labs lead developer Witse WIND announced the feature late last month. It came in response to a request for an Xumm wallet debit card. According to the developers, cards are inefficient and require additional fees, making QR payments more optimal. According to Wind, users can pay with any token supported by Xumm, and the store will receive the requested amount of fiat in the form of a stable Gatehub coin.
According to Wind, stores with card POS terminals don't need to purchase another terminal or device to accept the new payment option. Retailers can add the Xumm XRPL QR payment solution to their existing terminal. In addition, Wind said the developers plan to launch a payment feature for e-commerce stores, noting that it will be launched at one of the major e-commerce stores this month or next.
