Very cool. Does anyone have more technical info on what exactly is embedded in these payment QR codes?

Code relies on payment app, Alipay, Wechat. It embeds the minimal info that shall be sent to those App to continue the payment process. It could be a simple URL. I see that everywhere and feel sick of it. Like white pollution everywhere on electric line poles and bus stops.

The beggar shown links to a personalised url on qq.com which redirects me to wechat
