Retail price divided by the current bitcoin price equals the amount of bitcoins needed for purchase. Then create a QR code for that amount of bitcoins.
For instance, if their total purchase is $247 and the bitcoin price is $250, then the amount of Bitcoins they need to give you is ฿0.988 ($247 / $250 = ฿0.988)
EDIT: I recommend monitoring the blockchain in real time or using a bitcoin payment provider that monitors the blockchain in real time for payments, so you can approve the purchase in a few seconds for small value items, else you will need to wait for confirmations to reach your client. There is a small risk of double spending though when not waiting for 6 confirmations. We have a few businesses here that allow payment in Bitcoin for small value items and they use the same Bitcoin payment provider that monitors the blockchain in real time. Takes a few seconds for the payment to appear and neither of them claim to ever have lost funds due to double spending. I know because I ask them every once in a while.

i think you just need one, so they can acquire your address, unless you want to use a different address each time

Hi,
I run a retail shop in the UK and I am considering accepting Bitcoin.
I don't really understand how to do it.
I know I can create a QR code but do I need a QR code for each item I sell?
So, the customer comes in and wants 3 things, how do I do it?
Sorry if this makes little sense.
