Do I need a special app to scan?

No. Every modern phone camera reads QR codes natively.

Will the QR still work if I edit the invoice?

Yes. As long as the payment URL is unchanged the QR keeps working.

How to Add a Payment QR Code to Your Invoice (2026 Guide)

A payment QR code on your invoice is the single highest-leverage change you can make to get paid faster. Instead of your client copying an IBAN or clicking through email links, they open their camera, scan and pay.

How it works

You paste any payment URL into the Payment field of the invoice — PayPal.me, Stripe Payment Link, UPI intent, PIX, or your bank's transfer link. We encode that URL as a QR code and embed it on both the PDF and the public share page.

Which payment URLs work?

PayPal.me/yourhandle/100 (amount pre-filled)
Stripe Payment Links: https://buy.stripe.com/…
UPI intent: upi://pay?pa=…&am=…
PIX (Brazil): the pix://qr link
Any hosted checkout URL from Square, Wise, Revolut, etc.

Best practices

Encode the exact amount in the URL when the payment provider supports it — clients skip a step and mistakes drop to zero. Test the QR by scanning it with your own phone before sending.
