The Covid-19 pandemic has made many changes to the business system in various sectors. One way to prevent and reduce the spread of the Covid-19 pandemic is a physical distancing program. This has led to a digital trans-formation of the traditional transaction mechanism. This research aims to develop a prototype contactless transaction system using digital payment mechanisms and QR code technology that will be applied in traditional mar-kets. The method used in the development of electronic market systems is a prototype approach. The application of digital payments and QR code technology is used as a solution to minimize money exchange contacts that are common in traditional markets. The results showed that the system built was able to accelerate and facilitate the buying and selling transaction process in a traditional market environment. QR codes can speed up transactions, while digital payments make payment transactions easier. Alpha testing conducted shows that all functional systems are running well. Meanwhile, the beta test results show that the user acceptance of the system is 86% from the merchant side and 89% from the buyer side. The existence of an electronic market system can reduce contact between sellers and buyers with traditional money changers during transactions and replace them with electronic money in a traditional market environment. This system is also part of the digital transformation of the traditional market to the electronic market and has become one of the solutions in reducing the spread of the current Covid-19 pandemic.
