Does VietQR payment work in Da Nang with foreign payment apps, and can cashier-generated QR codes fail?
Based on 2 discussions with 2 participants · Last activity: 6 days ago
TL;DR
In Da Nang, VietQR payments through foreign payment apps may work inconsistently: one traveler reported success when entering the amount manually in a shop, but a cashier-generated fixed-amount QR in a mall failed. Having a local SIM did not prevent the error.
What the community said
Most recent VietQR report: payment via Bybit Pay in Da Nang worked in a regular shop when the amount was entered manually before confirming.

The situation was different in a mall: a cashier-issued QR code with a pre-filled amount returned an error and the payment failed.

A local Vietnamese SIM was being used, but that did not prevent the error, so the issue does not appear to be mobile connectivity alone.

Based on traveler reports, the more reliable flow seems to be when the merchant tells you the amount and you enter it yourself in the app, rather than scanning a cashier QR with a fixed amount embedded.

Travelers also specifically asked whether T-Bank QR payments work with couriers and in shops in Da Nang, showing that compatibility between Russian banking QR tools and local payments is a practical concern.

The T-Bank question covered two separate scenarios—paying a courier and paying in a shop—so acceptance of the same QR method may differ depending on the type of merchant.
