Generation of QR code:
The QR code should be generated based on the customer ID. The QR code should be unique for each of the customers.
On saving the customer details a SMS/mail should be triggered.
The trigger mail/SMS should be sent to the customer to generate the QR code on saving the customer details.
It would be better to use the dynamic QR code.
On every information edit and update of the customer profile, the SMS/mail to generate the updated QR code should be sent to the customer.
The mail will have the option click here to generate QR code. So that user can generate their unique QR code in their device and save it.
Changes in Zen pepper App:

The customer profile should have the option “My QR Code”.
When user click on it, the QR Code should be viewed and customer can use the QR code for scan and attach their details.
