How QR codes are used at charging locations and payment terminals

Smart Fuel Pass uses QR codes and NFC for two different purposes. Knowing the difference avoids starting or sharing the wrong flow.

Identify a charger or connector

A QR code or NFC tag on a charger, connector or location identifies the place where charging should start. A visitor can open the web flow, see the price and continue as a registered customer or an ad-hoc visitor.

Take an already started terminal session to a phone

A QR code or NFC option shown after a terminal reservation does not identify a new connector. It opens the particular session already paid for at the terminal so the driver can monitor or stop it on the phone.

For owners and operators

Download and place the QR code intended for the exact charger or connector. Before publication, test that it opens the correct location and tariff. Do not replace a charger-identification QR code with a session QR code.
