Abstract: A mobile computing system comprises a transitory memory storing QR code animation information, wherein the QR code animation information comprises reassembling QR codes from a plurality of animation frames. A mobile payment provider generates a QR code, wherein the QR code authorizes a payment transaction between a shopper and a merchant. The QR code is split into a plurality of frames for animation display. The plurality of frames is reassembled to obtain a second QR code. The second QR code is provided to the mobile payment provider. The mobile payment provider generates information to enable the merchant to conduct the payment transaction with the shopper on the second device, wherein the information uniquely identifies the merchant account and ties the payment transaction to the shopper device. Further, the mobile payment provider provides the transactional information to the merchant.
