How can I pay with TWINT at a cash register?

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 (iOS users can also use the widget for this purpose). 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. In addition, you can also have a push notification provide details about your payment. To do so, open your TWINT prepaid app, tap on the 3 dots or lines in the top-right or top-left corner of the screen and then tap “General settings” > “Push notifications”.
