Bluetooth sucks, it's even slower than reading a QR, and unreliable on top of that. We've had this with the Swiss equivalent of Swish (Twint), and it sucked so bad they abandoned it completely. It's just QR now.

The reason we can't use NFC is Apple, by the way. They'reocking everyone out. And because corporate product managers don't want to use NFC on Android and relegate Apple users to QR both get the same, worse option.
