Click Update
In January 2026, the Click app added support for the new universal Xolis-Paynet QR code, but a 1% commission on the payment amount began to be charged for payments made via such QR codes. The commission is not charged by Click, but because the QR code was created by the third-party Paynet Xolis system, not by Click itself. There is no commission for payments made via standard Click QR codes. Users are advised to check the type of QR code before paying.
