authenticating the indicia-based payment transaction using biometric data.

7. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the indicia further encodes transaction information including one or more of:

an identification of a merchant or merchant group;

an identification of a good or service;

a quantity of each good or service;

a type or category that a good or service belongs to;

a method of delivery for a good;

a date and time of arrival or shipment for a good or service; and

a date and/or time of a purchase.

8. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the indicia further encodes transaction information including one or more of:

a cost of a good and/or service;

a cumulative cost of goods and/or services;

any one or more of service fees, gratuity fees, taxes, or conversion fees,

a total cost reflecting the addition of any one or more of service fees, gratuity fees, taxes, conversion fees, or shipping related fees; and

a selection of a currency and/or mode of payment to be used for the transaction.

9. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein generating and transmitting a token indicating the authorization of the payment transaction is performed using an application programming interface.

10. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting a signal that indicates that the payment transaction cannot be processed; and

denying the further processing of the payment transaction.

11. A system for indicia-based payment transaction, the system comprising:

a data storage device storing instructions for performing an indicia-based payment transaction;

a server that hosts a site that is displayed on an external user interface;

a first user device having a user interface; and

a processor configured to execute the instructions to perform a method including:

receiving, from a merchant device of a merchant, transaction information related to a selection of goods or services from the merchant;

generating or receiving an indicia encoded with the transaction information and encoded with additional information including payment preferences of a user;

transmitting the indicia to be displayed, the display of the indicia enabling the first user device to scan the indicia and extract information related to the transaction information;

receiving, subsequent to (i) the indicia being scanned by the first user device, and (ii) the indicia-based payment transaction being authorized on an application, of the first user device, that was opened in response to the indicia being scanned by the first user device, an authorization from the merchant device of the merchant to process the indicia-based payment transaction;

generating and transmitting a token indicating the authorization of the indicia-based payment transaction to the merchant device of the merchant, wherein the token conceals information related to the indicia-based payment transaction; and

processing the indicia-based payment transaction using the token.

12. The system of claim 11 , further comprising:

receiving user input related to goods or services for a transaction amount;

transmitting information related to the goods or services;

receiving the indicia that encodes the information related to the transaction information; and

displaying the indicia.

13. The system of claim 11 , wherein, subsequent to transmitting the indicia to be displayed, the first user device performs a method comprising:

scanning a display of the indicia, by the first user device, to extract the information related to the payment preferences of the user; and

opening, by the first user device, a mobile application with information related to the payment preferences of the user.

14. The system of claim 13 , wherein the indicia is displayed on a user interface of an external user device that is different from the first user device, and wherein the display of the indicia is scanned by the first user device.

15. The system of claim 13 , further comprising:

receiving a desired payment source to be used for the indicia-based payment transaction.

16. The system of claim 15 , further comprising, subsequent to scanning the display of the indicia, by the first user device:
