Using QR code

The use of QR codes is one way to facilitate and expedite transactions. There are two main categories of QR codes in Pix: Dynamic QR code and Static QR code. Let's understand the difference between them:

Static QR Code: The static QR code contains fixed information that does not change over time or transactions. It is useful for receiving payments for a specific amount and/or standardized information. For example, a merchant can generate a static QR code to receive payments for a fixed amount for a product or service. This QR code will maintain the same payment information, such as the Pix key and the amount, regardless of how many times it is scanned.

Dynamic QR Code: The dynamic QR code contains variable information that can be updated for each transaction. It is especially useful for transactions of different amounts or when specific information needs to be included for each payment. For instance: when making a purchase at an online store, the dynamic QR code can include the amount to be paid and other relevant details for that specific transaction. Each time the dynamic QR code is scanned, it can display a different value and unique details for that transaction.
