The Customer-Presented Mode (CPM) is a payment system in which customers control the payment process, giving them a more interactive and personalized experience. 

The CPM payment process involves the customer presenting a payment code in a payment application to the merchant (the payment code typically refers to QR codes or barcodes). Then, merchants scan the code on their devices to initiate the payment.
