I precisely remember the first time when I saw a QR code. I thought that it was just a fancier version of a barcode. Later on, I was pleasantly surprised to see how different and advanced this technology turned out to be. Today, we all are well familiar with the iconic black and white square design of a QR code. The increased penetration of smartphones and access to high-speed internet has led to the massive adoption of the QR codes. That’s the reason why we see it almost everywhere whether it’s for shopping, movies, ads, etc. According to research by Statista, around 11 million households in the US alone will scan a QR code in the year 2020. This number is way more than 9.76 million scans which were recorded in the year 2018. Original Source :  Everything you need to know about QR Code Payments
