Developer builds browser-based European payment QR generator

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A developer has created a free, browser-based tool that generates European payment QR codes, specifically for SPAYD and EPC/GiroCode formats. The tool can also read QR codes and extract payment details from invoices using OCR, all processed client-side for privacy.
