TL;DR
Traveler reports suggest QR payments in Nha Trang are not universally interoperable: merchant codes may belong to different banks, and payments attempted through the Sber app were declined. Carry cash as a backup, especially for street-food stalls and small vendors.
The newest report indicates that a merchant displaying a QR code does not necessarily accept payment through Bybit Pay; this method was not accepted everywhere.
A traveler specifically checked whether a covered shopping venue accepted QR payments, reflecting that some places may still require cash only.
During the first days in Nha Trang, an attempt to pay a local QR code through the Sber app was declined. Different shops displayed QR codes associated with different banks, so one payment method may not work with every code.
Travelers planning to use QR payments at small stalls and street-food vendors found no confirmation of universal Bybit Pay compatibility. Keeping cash ready is practical for these smaller businesses.
