🤳 All QR codes are not created equal. Especially when it comes to payments! The standard EPC QR code (the one defined by the European Payments Council) is a solid open standard. But used on its own, it has real limitations that matter once you are running a business on top of it: 👉 Not every banking app supports it. A static EPC QR code doesn't work universally across EU banks (some of your customers simply won't be able to scan and pay) 👉 No visibility on your end. A standard EPC QR code doesn't create a payment session in your system. No session means no webhook (so you are back to manually checking bank statements to know if you got paid) 👉 No automation. Without a real-time "paid" signal, you can't trigger order fulfillment, update an invoice status or reconcile automatically. Someone has to do it by hand. That's the gap Digiteal's QR codes close: universal compatibility across EU banks, a dedicated payment session behind every code and an instant webhook notification the moment it's scanned and paid, so your system reacts in real time instead of waiting on you to check. Bonus for anyone using the Digiteal QR code: it can be paid only once (if you set the rule as a supplier), so nobody accidentally pays twice.
