How to Use QR Codes and Payment Links for Invoice Payments:

Forward Your Invoices:

1. Email: Include both the QR code (as an image) and the payment link in your emai Let the customer know that they can either scan the QR code, or click the link, in order to pay their invoice.
2. Other Communications: If you use other channels (e.g., messaging apps), you can also share payment links there - just copy and paste the QR code / link into your communication.

You can test either the QR code or the link by scanning / clicking before you send your invoice to your customer - it's a good idea to do this just to make sure that they're receiving precisely what you're expecting. If any of the details are incorrect we'd encourage you to return to your proforma invoice in order to check all of the information you've given us.
