How to Say ‘You can just scan this code.’ in Simplified Chinese

扫这个码就行。

sǎo zhè gè mǎ jiù xíng

[sow juh guh mǎ jyoh shing]

💬 Usage Tip: 就行 at the end means "that's all it takes" — tack it onto any action to make it sound easy: 刷卡就行 "just swipe your card", 给我就行 "just give it to me".

🇨🇳 In China: Paying in China is almost always by scanning a QR code with WeChat Pay or Alipay, so set one up before you travel. Cash is technically accepted but can leave the barista hunting for change.
