Digital Payment Revolution By OmniPay: Powering All Business Types
According to the house of commons library, “GDP declined by 9.7% in 2020, the steepest drop since consistent records began in 1948 and equal to the decline in 1921 on unofficial estimates.”
Since the Covid-19 wave, the world has undergone some significant changes. New norms emerged, such as social distancing, online shopping, work-at-home culture, etcetera.
Despite some of these measures working well for the world, this societal pandemic shift has downsides.
The UK GDP fell by 25% in April 2020 compared to just two months earlier in February following the first lockdown.
Retail businesses were suffering to meet their ends, many of them got completely shut down, and some had to change how they operate.
Covid accelerated retailers’ shift to online businesses — launching websites and home-delivery services favoured their business.
Furthermore, with people embracing digital change — online payments, virtual meetings, online entertainment, etcetera; things were going a tad smoother for businesses.
Online payments were popularly increasing among consumers. In addition, sending and receiving funds became easy with digital or online payments.
Eventually, things became normal again, but social distancing remained a rule to follow. Next, retailers embraced online payments in-store to minimise contact and reduce queues.
Digital payments offer customers a seamless shopping experience, whether online or in-store. In addition, the ease of transacting, reduced dependence on cash, and fast transfer speeds make online payments a preferred option.
In the UK, OmniPay helped hundreds of retailers with the smooth transition to accepting online payments.
OmniPay offers all business types with an assortment of payment solutions like QR code payments, payment gateway, Virtual terminal, NFC payments, and much more. To understand how these products can support your business growth, let’s take a closer look at them.

QR Code payments
QR code payment is a pivotal contributor toward building a cashless society. You can use QR codes for both payments and online redirects.
Every mobile device today has an inbuilt QR code scanner, whether an Android device or an iOS making QR codes highly accessible. A QR code is a machine-readable two-dimensional code made of black and white squares. Its primary use is storing URLs and other information; using a smartphone’s camera, your customers can read them.
Using OmniPay, you can generate as many QR codes as you want and share them with your customers to enable them to make a payment using their phones. In addition, OmniPay QR codes support all major cards and wallets, enhancing the checkout experience.
With generic QR codes, you can redirect users/customers to any desired web page, menus, product brochures, websites/landing pages, et cetera.

You can expand your business reach and be able to accept payments internationally using 100+ payment modes. Moreover, express checkout options are available from OmniPay, allowing customers to pay quickly without going through several security checks.
