What Should Be on Your Cashier's Pre-Shift Checklist for QR Crypto Payments?

Why a pre-shift checklist helps

Most counter mistakes happen when a cashier improvises. A two-minute routine before opening gives every team member the same definition of a finished sale. MiraclePay's QR flow is built around that idea: the merchant creates a payment request, the customer scans it with their own wallet and sends the exact amount on the network shown.

The checklist

First, confirm your device is logged in and can create a fresh payment for each order. MiraclePay describes displaying the QR on a terminal, tablet or phone, so decide which screen your counter uses and keep it charged and visible to staff.

Second, rehearse the sequence the product describes: create an order, display the QR, let the customer complete payment, then wait for staff confirmation. Cashiers should treat the confirmation state in your merchant tools as the signal to release goods, not the customer's wallet screen.

Third, remind the team that wallet compatibility matters. MiraclePay notes that a customer's wallet must support the exact asset and network shown, and that compatibility should be checked with the wallet provider before a live payment. If a customer is unsure, offer another payment method rather than experimenting at a busy register.

When a payment stalls or looks wrong

Give cashiers a simple rule: no confirmation, no handover. Keep the goods at the counter, keep the payment screen open, and ask the customer to wait a moment. If the status still has not changed, escalate to a supervisor instead of creating duplicate requests. A written escalation contact, such as MiraclePay's contact page or your internal lead, prevents guesswork.

Gateway design explains why patience is sometimes needed. CoinGate, another provider, describes gateways as watching the blockchain, waiting for enough confirmations and then marking the order paid. Exact rules vary by provider, so check your own provider's documentation for how its statuses behave.

Close the shift with reconciliation

At closing, compare confirmed payments with completed orders. MiraclePay says the same reference can follow the transaction into reporting, which makes this check easier. Availability depends on market, asset, network and onboarding approval, so confirm your account's setup before training staff on it.

Before enabling live payments, confirm merchant transaction fees for your account configuration.
