DuitNow QR

Introduction

DuitNow QR uses a redirect-based payment flow. When a customer selects DuitNow QR at checkout, they are redirected to a hosted page displaying a QR code. The customer scans the QR code using their preferred Malaysian banking or e-wallet app to confirm payment, then returns to your website or app upon completion. DuitNow QR is a single-use payment method.

This guide explains the process of integrating DuitNow QR into your app or website using Payrails.

Pre-requisites

Before you start accepting DuitNow QR payments with Payrails, there are a few requirements you must meet:

1. Integrate with Payrails using one of our SDKs or our API
2. Configure a new integration account for DuitNow QR via dLocal as a Payment Service Provider. If you do not have a dLocal integration already configured in your workspace, please follow the dLocal integration setup guide first.
3. Enable DuitNow QR as a payment method in your dLocal integration configuration. In the Payrails portal, navigate to Settings → Integrations, select your dLocal integration instance, and enable the DuitNow QR checkbox under Payment methods, then save the account.
4. Enable DuitNow QR as a payment option in your workflow.
5. Make sure you're sending the DuitNow QR-specific meta fields in your requests.

Ways to integrate DuitNow QR

Payrails SDK

The simplest way to use DuitNow QR with Payrails is to use our drop-in in your checkout flow. With this integration type, no additional work is required to accept payments with DuitNow QR except for handling success/failure screens for your users.

For a more flexible implementation using our SDK, you can use our genericRedirectButton element. See special instructions here for your client-side implementation.

Server-to-server integration

You can integrate DuitNow QR by completely managing your own client-side implementation, and using Payrails APIs with a server-to-server integration to process DuitNow QR payments.

Parse DuitNow QR from lookup response

With a server-to-server integration, you can call our lookup payment options endpoint to get available payment options. As shown in the example below, you can see duitNowQR returned as an option of the paymentCompositionOptions.

{
  "name": "lookup",
  "actionId": "0bb6413e-cabb-4074-99e6-9e815c69f25b",
  "executedAt": "2026-03-26T12:00:00.000000000Z",
  "data": {
    "paymentCompositionOptions": [
      {
        "integrationType": "redirect",
        "paymentMethodCode": "duitNowQR",
        "description": "DuitNow QR"
      }
    ]
  },
  "links": {
    "execution": "https://api.payrails.io/merchant/workflows/payment-acceptance/executions/83c534ac-13b7-43e6-b04b-f3e8b4eb4424",
    "authorize": {
      "method": "POST",
      "href": "https://api.payrails.io/merchant/workflows/payment-acceptance/executions/83c534ac-13b7-43e6-b04b-f3e8b4eb4424/authorize"
    }
  }
}

Pass DuitNow QR payment method in request to authorize payment with Payrails

You can then make a request to our authorize a payment endpoint with duitNowQR as the paymentMethodCode. See an example below:

{
  "executionId": "c0fd1c51-e709-47e5-bfd1-5d1c98f7d990",
  "amount": {
    "value": "5000",
    "currency": "MYR"
  },
  "paymentComposition": [
    {
      "integrationType": "redirect",
      "paymentMethodCode": "duitNowQR",
      "amount": {
        "value": "5000",
        "currency": "MYR"
      }
    }
  ],
  "meta": {
    "customer": {
      "name": "Ahmad bin Ali",
      "email": "[email protected]",
      "country": {
        "code": "MY"
      }
    }
  },
  "returnInfo": {
    "success": "https://mysuccessurl.com",
    "error": "https://myerrorurl.com"
  }
}

Note on amounts: MYR uses 2 decimal places. Amounts should be provided in the smallest currency unit — e.g., 5000 for RM50.00.

Note: DuitNow QR is a redirect-based, single-use payment method. After calling the authorize endpoint, the customer will be redirected to a hosted page showing a QR code. The customer scans this with their banking or e-wallet app to confirm payment. Once confirmed, the customer will be redirected back to the returnInfo.success URL. Make sure to provide valid returnInfo URLs in your authorization request.

Handle the redirect response

After the customer completes the payment, they will be redirected back to your success or error URL. You should then verify the payment status by checking the workflow execution status via the Payrails API or by listening to webhook notifications.
