⚠️ Important Notes
✅ Requires the New Version of QR Interaction (Legacy version not supported).
✅ All transactions are processed through Stripe for enhanced security and compliance.

✅Security Note: When payments are enabled, Snappic automatically disables experience buttons and limits sessions to one QR per device to protect both you and your guests.
💡 What is Snappic Payments
Snappic Payments allows guests to pay for their photo sessions before starting, directly within the QR flow.
It’s ideal for:
Permanent installs or unattended booths
Charging per photo, Burst, GIF, or video
Adding a fee for prints or branded downloads
Monetizing premium filters or AI photo effects
Because it’s built into the QR Interaction, you can tailor your entire payment and guest flow. From pricing to visuals, while maintaining your event’s branding.
🔄 How It Works
Guests scan your event QR code displayed on the booth, Attract Screen, or signage.
The client chooses their customized experience (Photo, GIF, Burst, Video, or AI).
When prompted, a secure Stripe payment screen appears showing your event name and the price.
Guests enter payment details and confirm.
Once payment succeeds, their photo session unlocks immediately. Each QR session is limited to one device for added security.
Insert image: QR scan > Experience selection > Payment screen > Processing > Confirmation.
