Dynamic QR Code API: Real-Time Payment Collection for Enterprises
What is a Dynamic QR Code?
A Dynamic QR Code is a unique QR code generated for each individual transaction, containing the exact payment amount, merchant details, and a unique transaction reference. Unlike static QR codes, dynamic QR eliminates the need for customers to enter amounts and enables 100% automatic reconciliation.
For enterprises processing thousands of payments daily, dynamic QR is the gold standard for UPI collection. NxtBanking Dynamic QR API generates unique QR codes in under 100ms.
How Dynamic QR Code API Works
- API Call: Your application calls the NxtBanking QR API with the payment amount, order ID, and customer details.
- QR Generation: The API returns a unique QR code image (PNG/SVG) with encoded UPI payment string.
- Customer Scans: Customer scans the QR with any UPI app. Amount is pre-filled — no manual entry needed.
- Payment Authorized: Customer enters UPI PIN to authorize the exact amount.
- Webhook Callback: NxtBanking sends a real-time callback with payment status, UPI reference, and your order ID.
- Auto-Reconciliation: Every payment is automatically matched to the originating order — zero manual effort.
