Abstract

The Student Community Service (KKN) program in Tanah Terban Village was conducted as a form of student service to the community. This program aimed to accelerate the digitalization of the village economy, particularly for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). The primary challenge facing MSMEs in Tanah Terban Village was a limited payment system that relied heavily on cash transactions. Additionally, business locations were difficult for potential customers from outside the village to discover. The initiative sought to integrate the use of the Quick Response Code Indonesian Standard (QRIS) as a cashless payment system. The program also encouraged the use of digital maps (Google Maps/Google Business Profile) to promote business locations, with the aim of simplifying transactions and increasing sales volume for MSMEs. Implementation methods included field observations, outreach activities, assistance with setting up QRIS accounts and registering business locations on digital maps, and an evaluation of the program's sustainability. The results indicate a positive response from MSMEs in Tanah Terban Village. The adoption of QRIS facilitated transaction recording and reduced risks associated with handling cash, while registration on digital maps made it easier for potential buyers to locate the businesses. This program is expected to serve as a model for sustainable, technology based economic empowerment for MSMEs in other villages.
