Is there a SGQR App for consumers to use? What are the apps available for my customers to scan a SGQR with PayNow?

What are the different logos under the SGQR?

These logos represent the payment schemes that are registered on the SGQR.
I am displaying a static PayNow QR in my shop for PayNow collections and I am not using any other payment schemes or e-wallets for collection. Do I need to move to SGQR even though I am on a single payment scheme?

What is “Payment Reference” and how is this field used?

“Payment Reference” is an optional field (up to 25 characters) that can be included in your SGQR label for the PayNow scheme. If “Payment Reference” is included in the SGQR PayNow registration, the SGQR generated will include this payment reference and your customers will not be able to amend the payment reference during payment. The “Payment Reference” will be included in all Inward PayNow transactions received via this SGQR and will be reflected in your IDEAL statement.
What is “Terminal ID” and how is this field used?

“Terminal ID” is an optional field. This field is used when there is a need to generate multiple SGQR IDs for the same outlet address. For example, you have PayNow Proxy 1 and PayNow proxy 2 for outlet address postal code 123456, you can register for SGQR using the following setup:

  • PayNow Proxy 1
    • Name on Label: ABC Pte Ltd
    • Postal Code: 123456
    • Terminal ID: 001
  • PayNow Proxy 2
    • Name on Label: ABC Pte Ltd
