How to pay with a QR code in Argentina

Last updated on Jun 02, 2026

In Argentina, Moreta lets you pay merchants by scanning their local QR code — the standard way many shops, cafés, and services accept digital payments.


Before you pay

  • Add money to your Moreta wallet first (card, bank, or crypto). Balances are in USD.

  • Keep the app updated to the latest version from the App Store or Google Play.


Steps at checkout

  1. Open Moreta and tap to scan a QR code.

  2. Point your camera at the merchant's QR (counter display, printed sign, or payment app screen).

  3. Enter the amount in Argentine pesos (ARS) when prompted.

  4. Check the merchant name and total, including the 1.5% transaction fee.

  5. Slide to confirm the payment.


Troubleshooting

Issue What to try
Scan won't read Clean the camera lens, increase brightness, try again closer to the code
Payment declined Check wallet balance; retry after updating the app
Amount looks wrong Cancel and rescan; confirm the ARS amount with the merchant
