Od roku 2018 usnadňujeme podnikání všem drobným živnostníkům a podnikatelům. Bez zbytečné byrokracie nebo čekání můžete začít přijímat bezhotovostní platby hned druhý den. A to i bez terminálu nebo vyzvídání na váš měsíční obrat. Abychom v tom mohli pokračovat a rozšířit tak pole působnosti dostupných plateb, zúčastnili jsme se dalšího investičního kolečka na britské platformě Seedrs a vybrali bezmála 8 milionů korun. To na první český startup na této crowdfundingové platformě není vůbec špatné. <h2>Trisbee jako český Revolut</h2>Úspěch značí i to, že se o nás píše jak v <a href="https://fintechcowboys.cz/trisbee-jako-prvni-cesky-startup-na-mezinarodni-crowdfundingove-platforme-seedrs/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(63, 81, 181);">české</a> finanční a podnikatelské sféře, tak i v té <a href="https://www.crowdfundinsider.com/2020/02/157626-european-mobile-based-payment-system-trisbee-now-seeking-e250000-through-equity-crowdfudning-campaign-on-seedrs/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank" style="color: rgb(63, 81, 181);">mezinárodní</a>. Na Seedrs kdysi začínal také známý Revolut - a to už něco znamená. Uspěl a pokračoval v expanzi, stejně jako my nyní.&nbsp;<h2>Je vybráno, co dál?</h2>Náš cíl i směr se nemění - bezhotovostní platby všem a bez rozdílu. Stále si stojíme za tím, že přijímat bezhotovostní platby mají být jednoduché, rychlé a přístupné i těm nejmenším živnostníkům s nejlepšími podmínky (tedy vlastně nejlépe s žádnými). A jelikož máme velké ambice, odlepujeme se z naší České republiky, kde jsme začali a pokračujeme dál. Tak, aby každý podnikatel v evropě měl možnost, jak snadno a rychle jít napřed svým zákazníkům. Na tento veliký krok jdeme malými krůčky, proto se nejdříve pouštíme na misi v Itálii, Španělsku, Německu a Francii. Tyto země nejsou vybrány náhodou.&nbsp;Jak říká jeden z našich zakladatelů Matěj: “V podnikání se držte partnerů, kteří vás nezklamou, podrží vás a pomohou vám v rámci jejich oboru. Proto se zajímáme o své obchodníky a snažíme se jim nabídnout pomocnou ruku nejen v bezhotovostních platbách, ale i v začátku podnikání.”&nbsp;Platba od zákazníka je jeden ze základních kamenů podnikání. Když máte vyřešeno, jak vám zákazníci budou platit, už vás od prodeje nic nedělí. A my jsme tu od toho, abychom vám tuto část podnikání vyřešili.<h2>Mezinárodní platby = Trisbee najíždí na eura</h2>Je to již nějakou dobu, kdy jsme do Trisbee přidali možnost platit přes QR kód. Další rozvoj v bezhotovostních platbách Trisbee si žádá možnost platit v eurech. Tuto fičurku ocení velký počet našich obchodníků. A nejen oni, ale i jejich zákazníci. Trisbee se vyvíjí s vámi.&nbsp;

<h2>What is a QR code?</h2>	QR is the abbreviation of “Quick Response”. QR codes were invented by Masahiro Hara in the 90s with the aim of finding a fast and simple payment method. QR code payments are mainly used in Asia.	Western countries are using QR codes primarily in marketing as a fast way to sign in to accounts. However, it is expected that QR code payments will become popular as an alternative to traditional credit or debit card payments. What are the advantages of QR codes? <h3>QR code payment - an easy way to pay</h3>	It wasn’t that long ago when payments through QR codes required much more effort than now. Nowadays, almost every smartphone has the ability to scan a QR code with its built-in camera. The whole process of scanning a QR code and receiving a payment shouldn’t take longer than 30 seconds. <h2>QR Code vs. Barcode</h2>	The most visible difference is in the design of the code but what else is different? QR codes were invented long after the barcode and therefore offer more advantages than a regular barcode. <ul><li>More data - a single QR code can contain up to 7089 numbers.</li><li>Works with a smartphone - you don’t need a special scanner.</li><li>Print-out paper/smartphone - QR codes can be scanned even if they’re printed in paper.&nbsp;</li><li>Minor damage is fine - even if there is a little damage to the QR code you should still be able to scan it.</li><li>Safety - QR code is safer since you can encrypt the information.</li></ul><h2>&nbsp;Asian example and QR code use worldwide</h2>	China is the only country that uses the QR code payments as the primary way of contactless payment. There are also other Asian countries where QR code payments have garnered some popularity in recent times, however, China still is at the forefront with these kinds of payments. People in China are using QR code payment to pay for a dinner, groceries or for a taxi.	You might be wondering why QR code payments became so popular in China. Well, companies like Alipay and WeChat started promoting QR code payments because they realized it is one of the most effective payments available that didn’t require a huge change in the process. After the major companies, small businesses followed and QR code payments gained popularity thanks to their effectiveness. Recently, there has been a wide-spread use of QR code payments in India and rest of the Eastern countries as well. Fun fact: The department of Investigation in the Philippines uses QR codes to store personal information because the data is encrypted and can be easily stored. 	Even though QR code payments are becoming more well-known, we don’t know whether they will be used as widely in Europe as they are in China now. After all, Western countries are used to card payments and it might be difficult for them to switch and start using QR codes to pay. However, it is worth checking the advantages of QR code payments because they might become essential for businesses. <h1>Advantages of QR Code Payments</h1>	The best thing is that you don’t need to be a hi-tech expert to implement QR code payments into your business, and once you do it you won’t regret it. <h2>QR code payment advantages for entrepreneurs:&nbsp;</h2> <ol><li>You only need a QR code</li></ol>In order to be able to receive a QR code payment you don’t need any hardware or POS terminals.
