PayWithCapture is a mobile payment solution that permits customers to make payments by scanning a generated QR-Code using the camera of their mobile device or by simply walking into a store and their Beacon-NFC Pay automatically prompts you to pay. It can be linked with different payment methods (MasterCard/VISA, Bank Account & Mobile Wallet) and it is available to download from all major app stores: Google Play Store, Apple Store and Blackberry World.
