📝 Summary

To ease payments for customers, merchants can provide an EPC QR code for banktransfer payments.
This module adds new configurations to the Banktransfer payment method, which generates an EPC QR code for the customer to scan with their banking app.

ℹ️ Background

EPC QR codes (PDF) are a standardized way to provide payment information to customers. The generated QR code contains all the information needed to make a banktransfer payment, such as the beneficiary, IBAN, the transaction amount and the reference.
The customers simply can scan the QR code with their banking app to initiate the payment.

👨🏼‍🔧 Installation

composer require schrammel-codes/magento2-epc-qr-code
bin/magento module:enable SchrammelCodes_EpcQrCode
bin/magento setup:upgrade

🛠️ Configuration

This module adds additional configurations to the Banktransfer payment method in Stores > Configuration > Sales > Payment Methods > Bank Transfer Payment.

Render QR code as Base64 encoded value has to be used with caution. It is recommended to use this option only, if it's that your customers don't get a QR code rendered in Gmail clients, as the most widely used email client not supporting base64 encoded images as image source.

When using colors for your QR code, make sure it is easy to scan. Some color combinations might make it hard to impossible for the banking apps to process the QR code.

🗓️ Usage

As soon as the module is enabled and configured with correct information, the QR code will be rendered below the banktransfer payment instructions in every place they are rendered.

Please observe, that the above shown QR code is an example and does not contain a valid IBAN which results in an error scanning this code with a banking app. With correct configuration, the QR code will work as intended.

Further, the module offers a view model \SchrammelCodes\EpcQrCode\ViewModel\QrCode with following methods that can be used to render the QR code image tag in the frontend:

• renderQrCodeImageTagFromOrderIncrementId(string $orderIncrementId): ?string
• renderQrCodeImageTagFromOrder(\Magento\Sales\Api\Data\OrderInterface $order): ?string

If the prerequisites to render the QR code are not met, the methods will return null.

⬆️ Upgrade

Migration path from 1.x to 2.1 onwards

As 2.0.0 introduced a breaking change by introducing a hash check on public EPC QR code URLs to avoid order probing, 2.1.0 introduces an upgrade timestamp flag, automatically bypassing the has validation on orders that got placed prior to that date but keeping the check mandatory on newer orders.

If you've been on version 1.x before already, make sure to directly upgrade to a version >= 2.1.0 to ensure your customers don't see broken QR code images in their older order confirmation emails.
