With belo, you can pay at thousands of stores quickly and securely using interoperable QR. It’s a simple way to use your digital wallet to make payments at any business in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil and Peru that accepts QR codes, regardless of which app generated them.
How does interoperable QR work in belo?
Scan the merchant's QR from the main screen of your belo app.
The app automatically selects the currency (e.g., ARGt, or USDC) for your payment. You can always change it quickly and without restrictions before confirming.
Enter the amount (if it's an open-amount QR) or simply review the details (if it's a fixed-amount QR).
Confirm and pay. Done! The merchant receives the payment instantly.
💡 Tip: When using an open-amount QR, you'll need to enter the amount yourself. Make sure to type it in the local currency (Pesos, Reais, Bolivianos or Peruvian Sol).

Where can I use interoperable QR?
You can pay with QR at supermarkets, restaurants, cafes, pharmacies, clothing stores, delivery services, and more. If you see a QR at the counter, chances are you can scan it with belo and pay in seconds.
📍 From large chains to neighborhood shops: More and more places are accepting QR payments. With belo, you pay like a local, even when you're away from home.
❗ If you see an "insufficient balance" error when paying with QR, it may be due to a difference between the estimated exchange rate in the app and the one applied at the time of payment.
We recommend having a small extra margin in your balance if you are using crypto.
