When to use it
The phone barcode is the most common carrier: a slash followed by seven characters, like /ABC1234, shown as a barcode for the cashier to scan. You get one free from the Ministry of Finance e-invoice app with a phone number, and after that your receipts, and any lottery wins, collect in the app instead of your wallet.
What you might hear back
hǎo, qǐng gěi wǒ sǎo.
好,請給我掃。
“Okay, let me scan it.”
