# QR Payment Systems Inditex's Retail Payment System Will Let Consumers Pay by QR Code By Laura McQuarrie | Published 2016-08-04 | Business Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/retail-payment References: [nfcworld](http://www.nfcworld.com/2016/07/28/346484/spanish-clothing-retailer-to-roll-out-qr-code-payments/) & [inditex](http://www.inditex.com/) Spanish clothing company [Inditex](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/preowned-platform) is planning to implement a new retail payment system that uses mobile phones and QR codes. Consumers who scan QR codes at store terminals will be able to use Inditex's InWallet [mobile payment service](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sams-club-4), making it easy to carry out payments that don't involve any physical cash. This QR code service will be launched across all of Inditex’s retail brands, including Zara, [Zara Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reloadable-contactless-keychains), Pull&Bear and Massimo Dutti. While it may seem as though QR codes have recently taken a backseat with the rise of contactless payments and wearable technology, many of these systems have yet to be adopted by the public and stores on a large scale. QR codes remain easily accessible to consumers with smartphones. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 47% | Activity: 67% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Business](https://www.trendhunter.com/business) > [Retail](https://www.trendhunter.com/retail) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **QR Codes for Retail Payments:** Using QR codes as a retail payment system to increase efficiency and convenience for consumers. - **Mobile Phone Payment Services:** Using mobile phone payments to eliminate the need for physical cash and provide a seamless payment experience for consumers. - **Contactless Payment Adoption:** The slow adoption of contactless payment systems in stores creates an opportunity for retailers to adopt QR code payment services. ### Where This Applies - **Retail:** QR code payment services can streamline the payment process and improve customer satisfaction in the retail industry. - **Mobile Technology:** The use of mobile phone payments and QR codes can help drive innovation and disruption in the mobile technology industry. - **Marketing and Advertising:** QR codes can be used in advertising campaigns and as a method for tracking customer behavior, providing new opportunities for marketing and advertising firms. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Amusement Park QR Readers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/intercard.md) - [QR Code-Based Payment Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qr-codebased-payment.md) - [Contactless Shopping Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smartshop-pick-and-go.md) - [Australian Mobile Payment Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eftpos-eqr-payments.md) - [Smart Shopping Cart Rollouts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zeroqs.md) - [Reloadable Contactless Keychains](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reloadable-contactless-keychains.md) - [Pre-Loved Clothing Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/preowned-platform.md) - [QR Code Shopping Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qrcode-shopping-assistant.md) - [Magazine-Integrated QR Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcade.md)
