QR codes on Sage 50c Accounts invoices

Hello,

My director + Accounts Manager would like to know if there will some QR code at some point on the Sage customer invoices.

These codes would be easy to scan with a smartphone (Iphone or android) and allow the payment of the invoices.

Thanks for keeping me updated on this subject.

Regards, JP Barret

    1. Edit the layout/report in Report Designer.
    2. Add a bar code element. You need to turn on the advanced toobox to see this option.
    3. Specify the field/expression you want to use for the QR code (more on this in a moment) and click OK.
    4. View the properties of the newly added element - you'll need to turn on the properties window for this.
    5. Click on the Barcode Format property and then click the small ... button (next to where it says "Code128".
    6. In the Symbology drop down select QR and click OK.
    7. Save your layout and print your invoice as normal.

    In terms of what expression you need to use for your QR code at step 3 this depends on what facilities you have in place to collect payments. For example if you have SagePay this expression could be based on the CreateSagePayButton function that is available in Report Designer. Equally this could be a link to paypal.me, pay.google.com, etc.

    Hope that helps.

  • Really ? I would love to know how to do it. If you have tips, I happy to learn how to add this to our invoices.
