1.5. Receiving digital cash

To receive funds from another user, you can send a payment request to another GNU Taler wallet. Simply specify the amount and a human-readable reason for the payment request. The wallet will then show a QR code (and give the option to export the payment request as a taler://-URL). Send the image of the QR code to the payer wallet (or send the taler://-URL to the target wallet).

The target wallet should scan the QR code (or enter the text of the taler://-URL into the URL import dialog which is available by holding or clicking the QR code scan button). Afterwards, review the reason for the payment request and decide whether or not to pay it. Selecting “pay” will complete the transaction.

Depending on the configuration of the exchange, the receiving wallet may have to undergo some KYC check before the funds are actually released to the receiver.
