How can I pay with TWINT at a cash register?

Cash register with TWINT Beacon

Make sure that the Bluetooth function and location services are activated. Good to know: on Android smartphones, TWINT automatically activates and deactivates Bluetooth. Open the TWINT app using the fingerprint scanner, facial recognition or your PIN, tap the “Pay” button and then select the “Beacon” option in the top-left corner of the screen. Hold your smartphone up to the TWINT Beacon at a distance of 5 to 10 cm. After the payment has been successfully made, you will see a confirmation in the app.

Cash register with terminal

At the cash register, ask whether TWINT payments are supported. If they are, open the TWINT app and tap “Pay” at the bottom of the screen. Point your smartphone camera at the QR code displayed on the terminal. After the payment has been successfully made, you will see a confirmation in the app.

Cash register with a QR code sticker

Open the TWINT app and tap “Pay” at the bottom of the screen. Point your smartphone camera at the QR code sticker and confirm the payment. In the event of a QR code sticker with a variable amount, you must enter the amount you wish to pay before confirming the payment.

According to a recent study carried out by ZHAW Zurich University of Applied Sciences, approximately 77% of bricks and mortar retailers and 76% of online shops in Switzerland now offer TWINT as a payment method.
