Include important information as QR codes on your invoices

QR codes let your customers quickly access important information by scanning the code with their device. This can be a useful way to display, for example, the Shopify order status page where customers review and pay for their unpaid orders.

However, with Sufio, any information can be rendered as a QR code.

You can also change the colors or size of the QR code, or even include your logo inside the code.

Sufio’s document templates let you create dynamic QR codes that contain any information you want—such as data that can be scanned with a dedicated app or a scanner, or any URL, like a link to a feedback form on your online store, personalized with a document number.

Our templates support a qr_code filter that creates a QR code from any text.

To place a QR code on your document:

1. In your Sufio account, go to the Design page.
2. Click on the Edit code button.
3. Use the qr_code filter in the template editor. A good place for the QR code is near the payment details or totals on your document.
4. Click on the Save button to apply your changes to the preview.
5. Once you are satisfied with the QR code, click on the Publish button to apply the new template to all the documents in your account.

Now, every document, including those created previously, will include your QR code.

For example, suppose you want to include a QR code that, upon scanning, opens the online document. To do this, you can insert the following code snippet:

If you operate within the eurozone, you may be interested in sending your invoices with a European Payments Council (EPC) QR code. When your customers scan the QR code using their banking app, the app initiates a SEPA credit transfer for payment of the invoice. 

Sufio can automatically include EPC QR codes on invoices in euro and pre-fill them with the payment information from the invoice.

To include an EPC QR code on your invoices:

1. In your Sufio account, go to the Design page.
2. Click on the Edit code button.
3. In the template editor, insert the following snippet inside the template code:

4. Click on the Save button to apply your changes to the preview.
5. Once you are satisfied with the QR code, click on the Publish button to apply the new template on all the documents in your account.

Now, every document that contains the required payment information, including those created previously, will include an EPC QR code.
