- ✓Account and profile settings
- ✓QR code generation for payments
Take some time to explore the dashboard before accepting your first payment. Get familiar with the interface — it's simple and intuitive.
Step 4 — Accept Your First Payment
Now comes the best moment — your first payment! Here's how it works:

- A QR code is automatically generated on screen
- The customer scans the QR code with their phone
- Customer is redirected to the secure Paysera page
- Customer fills in payment details and confirms

The entire process from QR scan to confirmation takes less than 30 seconds. It is fast, secure, and simple for both parties.

Troubleshooting Common Issues
QR Code Won't Scan
If the customer has difficulty scanning the QR code, check: have they enabled camera permissions on their phone, is the lighting sufficient, is your phone screen clean. If nothing works, try regenerating the QR code.
Payment Doesn't Confirm
Check your phone's internet connection. The payment may take up to 30 seconds to process. Check the status in the merchant dashboard — the payment may be pending confirmation from the processor.
Forgot Password
Use the "Forgot Password" function on the login page. You will receive a reset link at your registered email.
