QR codes simplify payments by allowing customers to scan and pay without complicated procedures. This technology doesn’t require technical expertise. Meaning then is clear, i.e. user-friendly for people unfamiliar with advanced digital tools. Villagers and small-town residents now use smartphones for more than just calls or messaging. They use QR codes to pay for groceries, medicines, and even transportation. This indicates that they understand basic digital operations like scanning and confirming payments.
The ease of using QR codes encourages people to adopt digital payment systems. Small merchants and shopkeepers in rural areas prefer QR codes because they eliminate the need for complex equipment like card swiping machines. Government and private initiatives promoting digital payment literacy have helped people adopt this technology. Training programs often include hands-on experience with QR code transactions.
The widespread visibility of QR codes in local shops, street markets, and rural stalls reflects how deeply this technology has penetrated rural India.
