Why an invoice QR code
A PDF invoice gets opened, read and then set aside until someone has time to pay. An invoice QR code shortens that path: the client scans it and lands on the online version of the invoice, where most accounting tools offer a pay button, or on a page listing your transfer details. Give the code the invoice number as its name and enter the link from your accounting software, or write the bank details as text. Sensitive invoices can be locked with a password under Security & Limits. Banking apps cannot read this type directly; for codes that fill in a bank transfer, use the EPC, SPAYD, NBU, Pix or UPI types.
- Clients reach the online invoice and its pay button straight from the paper copy.
- Works with the invoice links of any accounting tool or with plain transfer details.
- Password protection keeps invoices with personal details away from strangers.
- Statistics reveal whether anyone has opened the invoice code yet.

Invoice QR Code Generator
An invoice QR code lets a client go from the paper or PDF invoice to the place where it can be paid: the online invoice from your accounting tool, a payment link or a page with transfer details.
What is this QR code?
The code holds the name you give it and either the address of the online invoice, where the scan leads, or a text with payment details that opens on a simple page.
Best use cases
- ✓Freelancers adding a pay-online link to invoices sent as PDF.
- ✓Small firms whose accounting software creates an online page for every invoice.
- ✓Landlords printing transfer details for monthly rent on a reminder.
- ✓Event organisers billing exhibitors and pointing them to the payment portal.
How to generate your QR code
Open the invoice in your accounting tool and copy the link the client can open.
Use the invoice number as the code's name and add that link or the transfer details.
Lock pages with personal data behind a password from Security & Limits.
Place the code near the total and the due date on the invoice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will a banking app fill in the payment from this code?
No. Banking apps read special formats directly from the image; for those, use the EPC, SPAYD, NBU, Pix or UPI types. This type opens your online invoice or shows text.
How is an invoice different from a receipt QR code?
An invoice asks for a payment that is still due; a receipt confirms a payment that has already been made.
What should the code link to?
The online version of the invoice from your accounting tool, a payment link, or a page listing your bank details; you can also type the transfer details directly instead of a link.
Can the banking app fill in the transfer?
Not with this type. Use EPC for SEPA transfers, SPAYD in Czechia, the NBU format in Ukraine, Pix in Brazil or UPI in India; those codes are read by banking apps directly.
Can I see whether the client opened it?
The statistics list each scan with its time. Who scanned stays unknown to QR Global.
Can strangers who find the invoice see the details?
Not if you set a password: visitors have to type it before anything opens. The option is in the code's settings.
Do I need a new code for every invoice?
If each invoice has its own online page, yes. A single code can also point to a general payment page with your details.
What happens after the invoice is paid?
You can redirect the code to a thank-you page or your receipts, or set an expiration date so it stops working.
