    9. What is the first thing I need to do once I have downloaded the OCBC OneCollect app and I intend to collect payments using the in-app QR generation function?

      For the very first login, the admin (i.e., this will be the mobile number that was registered for OneCollect) must open the app and log in using the OTP sent to this number to complete the setup. There are two parts to the setup:

      Terminal
      Upon registration, a default terminal (i.e., store outlet) is created in your OneCollect app. You may go to “Manage > Terminals” if you would like to change the name of the terminal. If you have more than one store location, you can add on more terminals here by clicking on “Add Terminal” and follow the on-screen instructions.

      User
      Next, you will need to add user to each of the terminal that you had just set up. Go to “Manage > Users > Add User”. You have a choice of two roles – “Manager” or “Cashier”.

      For “Manager” role, you are only required to key in the mobile number as manager will have access to all terminals.

      For “Cashier” role, key in the mobile number and ensure that the cashier is tagged to the relevant terminal (i.e., store location).

      Once you have completed the above, you are ready to start collecting payments via in-app QR generation.

    10. What is the first thing I need to do once I have downloaded the OCBC OneCollect app and I intend to collect payments using the SGQR sticker label?

      For the very first login, the admin (i.e., this will be the mobile number that was registered for OneCollect) must open the app and log in using the OTP sent to this number to complete the setup. There are two parts to the setup:

      Terminal
      Upon registration, a default terminal (i.e., store outlet) is automatically created in your OneCollect app. However, if you are already registered for SGQR and have linked it to your OneCollect account, a new SGQR-linked terminal will appear in your app within 2 working days upon linkage (this terminal comes with a SGQR ID reference while the default terminal doesn’t). You may wish to rename the terminal name for easy reference via “Manage > Terminals”.

      User
      Next, you will need to add user to the terminal with SGQR ID reference (“SGQR ID Terminal”). Go to “Manage > Users > Add User”. You have a choice of two roles – “Manager” or “Cashier”.

      For “Manager” role, you are only required to key in the mobile number as manager will have access to all terminals.

      For “Cashier” role, key in the mobile number and ensure that the cashier is tagged to this SGQR ID terminal. If you have more than one SGQR ID terminal, please ensure you have tagged a cashier to each of them.

      Once you have completed the above, you are ready to start collecting payments via the latest SGQR sticker labels OCBC has sent you.

    11. After I have set-up the users in the app, how do I start collecting payment via QR code?

      If you are collecting via in-app function
      You can generate QR code via OneCollect app directly (by tapping on the collect money “$” sign icon). A QR code is dynamically generated based on the payment method selected and inputted the amount, and you can present the QR code for your customer to scan and pay. Your business or cashier will see a “Successful” screen on the app and receive an audible alert (if notifications are enabled) once payment is collected successfully.

      If you are collecting via SGQR sticker label
      SGQR is supported if you have set up your SGQR details with OCBC Bank and subsequently linked this SGQR to your OneCollect account. A new set of SGQR label(s) will be sent to you to display for your customers to scan and pay by inputting the payment amount. Your business or cashier will receive an in-app notification alert and audible alert (if notifications are enabled) on the app once the payment is collected successfully.

      Please note that we can only support PayNow QR collection via SGQR sticker label at the moment.
