The Order Code Payment enables merchants and customers a smooth payment experience.

To initiate a payment, the merchant generates a QR code with the order information for customers to scan. After scanning the code, the customer can check the order information before completing the payment.  

This payment method is suitable for retail and self-service scenarios as customers can complete payments without entering the payment amount, and get the payment result instantly.
