Requirements
At least one verified merchant terminal must be active. Open FRENT POS and confirm that Base or Polygon is shown as connected.
Create the request
- Enter the amount in USD. FRENT converts it to the exact six-decimal USDC token amount.
- Add an optional description such as the order or table.
- Add an optional payable-to label and reference.
- Select Open QR checkout.
FRENT creates the request on the first active supported terminal. The payer can choose from the merchant's active Base and Polygon networks on the public payment path before a chain-specific request is issued.
Fee and expiry
The fixed FRENT fee is $0.01 for payments below $10 and $0.10 for payments from $10. Network gas is separate. Payment requests expire after the configured request window; the current default is 15 minutes. A confirmed valid transfer mined around the expiry boundary is still recorded because settled USDC cannot be reversed.
Track the result
The merchant payment page displays pending, paid, expired or failed status. Paid onchain requests retain the payer, transaction hash, block number and explorer link.

Article FAQ
Common questions.
Can a request use an arbitrary token?
No. FRENT verifies the configured native USDC contract for the selected terminal.
Can an expired request be reused?
Create a fresh request so the customer receives a current signed checkout and expiry window.
