I’m getting an invalid QR message when I try to pay the merchant. Why is this so?

Payment can only be made strictly to a QR belonging to a registered business entity with this service. You will encounter this error If the QR that is presented to you for scanning is a QR that belongs to an individual in his/her personal capacity.

You can request the merchant to provide you with the QR that is tagged to his/her registered business entity.
