QR Box SMS vs In-App: Which One Fits Your Shop?
Both QR Box options announce incoming payment amounts π, but they differ in notification source, speed, bank SMS fees, and Android phone requirements. Here is a simple comparison to help you see which setup fits your shop.
Both the SMS and In-App QR Box have the same basic purpose: to announce incoming payment amounts so merchants can hear them clearly. π The main difference is where the payment notification comes from. π© The SMS version receives bank SMS notifications and does not require an Android phone. It is suitable for shops with fewer or less frequent incoming payments. π± The In-App version works with notifications from supported merchant banking apps through Connect Hub Merchant Manager, so an Android phone is required. It is suitable for shops that receive payments frequently and already use merchant banking apps. Another clear difference is notification speed and bank notification fees. The SMS version typically takes around 5β10 seconds and the bank charges approximately THB 20β35 per month for its SMS notification service. The In-App version typically takes around 1β3 seconds and does not require a bank SMS notification fee. π Whichever option you choose, the QR Box can announce incoming payment amounts. The key question is simply: βWhich notification method fits the way your shop operates?β
