Vistaprint and PayPal Bring QR Code Touch-free Payments to Small Businesses

Vistaprint, the marketing and design partner to small businesses, announced a collaboration with PayPal to bring innovative and safe touch-free payment solutions to small businesses across the country.

Touch-free payments allow small business owners to process payments for goods and services without having to handle cash or credit cards, and avoiding physical contact with customers during the transaction. Through this collaboration, Vistaprint is enabling customers to leverage PayPal’s touch-free payment solution through a collection of customizable Vistaprint marketing products bearing their unique QR code.

To more fully understand the pivots small businesses are making to remain open while helping to reduce the spread of COVID-19, Vistaprint conducted a survey of 500 small business owners in the retail and food service sectors. The addition of touch-free QR code payment options is among the top small business pivots reported. More than half of respondents (52%) say they added this feature in 2020 as a direct response to the pandemic and plan to keep it in place long term. Furthermore, 42% of the small business owners polled believed of all the pandemic pivots they have made, touch-free payment is among the most important to their customers.
