That's what you use contactless for. Different systems have different purposes. Although people have also been known to use Tikkie or other payment request systems for in-person payments. Backed by iDeal, or now Wero.
In some countries there is a payment system that works by generating QR codes at checkout and scanning those with your phone. I don't know if Wero intends to also support those, but it could make for a direct integration into live checkout.
I think the Digital Euro initiative is closer to replacing contactless payments than Wero is, but it'll depend on the country I think.
How does it work when you need to pay for something in person? (what contactless is for)

iDeal supports scanning of QR codes, so I assume Wero does too.
IMHO, QR codes are a big step back from contactless and appeared in countries that didn't have widespread card adoption (e.g. China),

You use your bank card or contact less payment from your bank app.
Optionally you scan or get send a payment request, and pay through Wero.
QR codes for now, unfortunately.
