Ah, ok. So you're basically just getting the vendor's userid via the qr code.

Sounds right. The QRCode isn't essential, I guess. There are others ways you could enter a vendor ID. But it was a very smooth HX* with very little room for error.
I seldom saw anyone else in China paying any other way. I used cash like the weirdo I am, with debit card as a backup.

On one occasion, after buying a meal at the same street food cart a few times, I ordered a meal and the guy started cooking it. When he was finished and I went to pay, I realized I didn't have any cash (they don't have debit card machines). He just handed me the meal and waved me away. From a memory a student translated for me, so I could assure him I'd pay him next time. Which I did.
China was cool like that. Everyone was very trusting and for the most part, very honest.
