Start with the visitor's intention

A profile QR can help a person explore identity, work and contact information. A payment QR points toward a supported financial workflow. Both may belong in the same ecosystem, but they serve different intentions. Presenting them with identical labels creates unnecessary uncertainty, particularly when someone encounters the code outside the original conversation. Give each route a clear purpose and avoid implying that merely viewing a profile initiates or authorises a payment.

Sequence discovery before commitment when appropriate

For an unfamiliar offer, the profile may be the better starting point because it explains the seller and service. For an already agreed transaction, a clearly labelled payment route may be more direct. Check what the current Tap Tap Go configuration supports and use the appropriate destination. The design decision is about reducing ambiguity, not maximising the number of codes on a counter. Each code should help a person take the next step they actually intended.

Imagine this

Hypothetical worked scene

A hypothetical consultant uses one QR on a presentation to open her profile and another within an agreed proposal to reach a payment route. The labels explain their different purposes. A potential client can explore her work without believing a scan commits them financially, while an approved buyer receives a direct and intelligible next step.

Make it practical.
