• in response to determining that the image of the information code comprises a characteristic of the first settlement service being encoded in the information code, a text representation comprising at least part of a first character string specifying the first settlement service, an icon indicating the first settlement service, or a combination thereof:
• executing the first settlement processing on the basis of settlement information encoded in the information code, and
• notifying the second information processing device that the first settlement processing is completed;
• and
• in response to determining that the image of the information code comprises a characteristic of a second settlement service being encoded in the information code, a text representation comprising at least part of a second character string specifying the second settlement service, an icon indicating the second settlement service, or a combination thereof:
• transmitting settlement information, encoded in the information code, to a third information processing device configured to execute the second settlement processing via the second settlement service,
• receiving a notification, from the third information processing device, that the second settlement processing is completed, and

A computer-readable non-transitory storage medium storing a program for causing one or more processors of a first information processing device, to execute a first settlement processing corresponding to a first settlement service, the one or more processors of the first information processing device being, via the program, configured to perform operations comprising:

• acquiring an information code, from a second information processing device that scans an image of the information code used for settlement processing;
• in response to determining that the image of the information code comprises a characteristic of the first settlement service being encoded in the information code, a text representation comprising at least part of a first character string specifying the first settlement service, an icon indicating the first settlement service, or a combination thereof:
• executing the first settlement processing on the basis of settlement information encoded in the information code, and
• notifying the second information processing device that the first settlement processing is completed;
• and
• in response to determining that the image of the information code comprises a characteristic of a second settlement service being encoded in the information code, a text representation comprising at least part of a second character string specifying the second settlement service, an icon indicating the second settlement service, or a combination thereof:
• transmitting settlement information included, encoded in the information code, to a third information processing device configured to execute the second settlement processing via the second settlement service,
• receiving a notification, from the third information processing device, that the second settlement processing is completed, and
