How to say "scan the QR code" in Chinese

When To Use It

"scan the QR code" maps to 扫一下二维码 (sǎo yíxià èrwéimǎ), a neutral digital phrase for payment situations.

This belongs near checkout moments, receipts, bills, and quick money-related questions where direct wording helps.

Practice it first exactly as written, then swap in your own people, places, or objects so it becomes part of your active speaking repertoire.

Tone And Delivery

The register is neutral, which makes it flexible: safe in most daily situations without sounding stiff or overly intimate.

Because this is marked beginner, you should aim to recognize it instantly and reuse it with your own names, nouns, locations, or numbers.

A good practice target is the example sentence 先扫一下二维码，然后填写信息。 (xiān sǎo yíxià èrwéimǎ, ránhòu tiánxiě xìnxī.). Once that feels natural, shorten your pause and try it at conversation speed.

Practice Ideas

This phrase becomes more useful when you learn it as part of a mini-sequence. After saying it, a natural next step could be 加我微信 (jiā wǒ Wēixìn).

A second nearby phrase to review is 把定位发给我 (bǎ dìngwèi fā gěi wǒ), which helps you stay in the same topic instead of translating from scratch again.

• Read the example “First scan the QR code, then fill in the information.” aloud, then replace one detail with your own information.
• Pair it with “Add me on WeChat” next so your conversation does not stop after a single line.
• Match the phrase to your tone of voice: soft for polite requests, flatter and quicker for routine daily use.
• If you hear a slightly different version in the wild, compare the tone and context before treating it as interchangeable.
