Silo allows users to request payments using a QR code. The receiver enters the amount they want to receive, and Silo generates a QR code in one tap. The receiver shares that QR code with the sender, who scans it, confirms the payment, and sends. The QR code contains the receiver’s username and the requested amount. The sender does not need to manually type a username or figure out how much to send. They scan, confirm, and pay. This flow follows the same routing logic as any other Silo payment. The sender chooses which asset and chain to pay from on their side. Silo reads the receiver’s preferences and handles conversion, routing, and privacy automatically. The receiver gets paid according to their saved preferences, regardless of what the sender pays with. Payment requests are useful for in-person transactions, invoicing, and any situation where the receiver wants to initiate the payment flow rather than waiting for the sender to look up their username and enter an amount manually.
