How it works
Six steps from buying credits to a customer holding the money. Nothing here needs an app, a login, or a loyalty card.
Step 1
Buy QR credits
Credits are prepaid and come in packs from ₹999. One credit becomes one unique code.
Nothing is charged per scan or per reward, so the cost of a campaign is known before it starts.
Step 2
Set up a campaign
Choose the reward: the same amount on every code, a random spread within a budget, or a prize-tier draw where a few codes carry large rewards and most carry none.
Decide what to ask the customer for. Name and mobile number can each be required, optional, or not shown at all.
Step 3
Generate the codes
Credits are consumed at this point, not at print time. A code that exists can be photographed, so it counts the moment it is created.
Each code is single-use and carries a secret token that only appears inside the QR image.
Step 4
Print and distribute
Export print-ready PDF sheets at 300 DPI with cut marks, or a CSV if you are sending the codes to a printer.
Stick them on cartons, tuck them into packaging, or hand them out at a stall.
Step 5
Add the bill number
If the campaign requires it, someone at the counter types the bill number against the code before the customer can claim.
Until they do, a scan shows the customer a note asking the vendor to add it. This ties every reward to a real sale.
Step 6
Customer scans and gets paid
They open the code with any camera, enter a UPI ID or bank details, and the reward is sent.
Only one claim can be in progress on a code at a time, and an abandoned attempt releases the code after 15 minutes.
The awkward questions
- What happens if a reward fails to arrive?
- The customer is told, and given the issuing business's contact details. The business can retry the payout from their panel. Kyuq cannot release or re-issue a reward on a business's behalf, because it is not Kyuq's money.
- Can the same code be claimed twice?
- No. A code is locked the moment a claim begins, and the database refuses a second live payout against it even if two requests arrive in the same millisecond.
- What if somebody photographs a printed code?
- Whoever scans it first can claim it. That is why credits are consumed at generation rather than printing, and why bill-number gating exists: it ties the code to a sale that actually happened.
- Do unused credits come back?
- Credits are not returned once codes are generated, including if the batch is deleted. Deleting is for a batch you have decided not to use, not a refund.
Prize-draw campaigns, where a few codes carry a large reward and most carry none, may be regulated differently depending on the state you operate in — take your own legal advice before running one.
