When a customer checks into the hotel, there are these following ways to initiate a hotel pre-auth:
  • Customer-scan pre-auth: The customer scans the pre-auth dynamic QR code presented by the merchant.
  • Merchant-scan pre-auth: The merchant scans the Alipay payment QR code presented by the customer.

I assumed YariGuy was talking about the first (bolded by me) process flow because I've never seen the second one implemented for remote scanning.
