Visa QR Code OR Merchant ID

[imarfan1]

Hi,

In Visa Sandbox environment, can we have QR Code for development purpose. If not then how we can generate QR Codes and what kind of information we can get from QR Codes.

Second, is their any procedure or endpoint that we can use to get Merchant information by Merchant-ID (In case Customer can pay using merchant id instead of QR-Code).

Thanks for your help.

Hi @imarfan1,

We do not provide QR codes as test data. However you can download the SDK for QR generation. Please navigate to your Visa Direct project => Assets => SDK page (see screenshot below). 

Before you get started with Visa Direct, please review the requirements for using Visa Direct. All Visa Direct programs require the originator to be a licensed Visa acquirer or be sponsored by a licensed Visa acquirer who is ready and able to sponsor Visa Direct programs.

Hi @SLi ,

Thanks for your help. This will help me a lot but one thing. What kind of information we can get from QR Code? Is their any API which we can use to get Merchant information by "Merchant-ID" or "Merchant PAN"?

If consumer using Web Application on their mobile device, so consumer is able to pay their bills by entering Merchant-Id or Merchant-PAN. Before going to pay, we will make sure Merchant-Id or Merchant-PAN is correct and verified.

Hi @imarfan1,

The Merchant Search API lets clients find the merchant identification information using the acquirer provided Merchant Name and other attributes such as address and card acceptor identifiers. Please check it out and see if it fits your business use case. API reference is here.
