How to Pay with QR Codes in Argentina

To pay with QR codes in Argentina, you must have an active and verified account with Ripio.

If you haven’t completed KYC (Know Your Customer) with Ripio, World App will prompt you to verify your identity before you can proceed. This verification is required to enable QR payments and comply with local regulations.

QR code payments allow you to pay merchants in Argentina using your WLD funds.

Note: QR code transactions are currently available only on Android devices. Payments can be made only using WLD funds.

Making a payment with a QR code

  1. Scan the QR code
    Open World App, tap Scan (top-left corner of the home screen), and point your camera at the merchant’s QR code.
  1. Enter or review the amount

    There are two types of QR codes:

    • Prefilled QR:
      The merchant already sets the amount. You’ll see the total in ARS and its WLD equivalent, including any applicable fees.

    • Non-prefilled QR:
      You’ll need to enter the amount you wish to pay. The app will display the ARS total and the corresponding WLD amount before you continue.

  2. Confirm the payment
    Tap Confirm to authorize the crypto transfer.

    If you proceed with the transaction, Ripio processes the payment by converting the required WLD amount to ARS and then remitting it to the merchant.

 

  1. Transaction completed
    Once the payment is successful, you’ll see a confirmation in World App. The transaction details will also be available in your transaction history.

 

Troubleshooting steps

If the QR code payment isn’t working as expected, try the following:

  • Ensure the lighting is good and the QR code is clearly visible.
  • Hold your camera steady and point it directly at the QR code.
  • Ask the merchant to refresh or regenerate the QR code.
  • Force-close World App and try again.

If the issue continues, please contact us through in-app support so we can help you further.
