Gate Pay Scan-to-Pay Full Guide: One-Click Scan, Easily Spend Crypto Assets

In today’s world where digital payments are becoming increasingly popular, carrying cash or bank cards for transactions has gradually become a thing of the past. As a leading platform in the crypto space, Gate has always been committed to promoting the practicality and widespread adoption of digital assets. Its launch of the Gate Pay feature is a key step in realizing this vision.

Today, the “Scan to pay” function of Gate Pay has successfully integrated multiple national QR code payment standards, opening a new door for users to spend crypto assets in the real world. This article will provide a detailed explanation of how to use the Gate Pay QR code payment feature and how it can revolutionize your daily payment experience.

Why choose Gate Pay Scan to pay?

Traditional crypto payments often face challenges such as complicated exchanges and limited acceptance. Gate Pay innovatively connects to local national payment networks, perfectly solving these issues. Currently, this feature has been first implemented in the markets of Vietnam and Brazil. This means users can directly pay with mainstream digital assets like USDT and USDC at numerous local merchants supporting national QR codes—whether they are restaurants, cafes, retail stores, convenience stores, or online e-commerce platforms.

Its core advantages include:

• Seamless Compatibility: Direct integration with mainstream local QR code payment systems, with no need for merchants to change existing payment methods.
• No Fiat Currency Conversion Needed: Pay directly with held crypto assets, saving exchange costs and time.
• Fast Settlement: Transactions are confirmed instantly, and funds are quickly credited to merchants.
• On-Chain Transparency: All payment records can be queried on the blockchain, ensuring security and verifiability.
• Easy Operation: Similar to using regular mobile payment apps, making it simple to get started.
