In North America, QR code payments have gone from being a niche option to a common way to pay for things in stores, hotels, transportation, and public services. QR codes were first used for marketing and getting information, but they later became secure, fast, and hardware-light ways to pay, especially as contactless payments became more popular. Because they were easy to get to - just a smartphone and an internet connection - they were used in both big cities and small towns. Different regions use different methods. For example, the U.S. uses QR codes to add to existing digital wallets, Canada uses them in account-to-account transactions, and Mexico uses infrastructure led by the central bank to make payments that are the same and free.
