With the Accountable mobile app, you can generate a QR code containing your bank details so your clients can pay you instantly. These QR codes are automatically linked to your accounting, saving you time. Whether you're invoicing or receiving non-invoice payments, this feature simplifies the process. Here's how to generate and use a QR code for quick payments.
A) How to generate a QR code from the Bank screen?
Open the Accountable mobile app and go to the Bank screen.
Tap on Get paid by QR code.
Select the target bank account where you want to receive the payment, or manually enter your IBAN if needed.
In the Payment Info form, enter the Amount you want to receive and any Communication (such as a reference note for the payment).
Accountable automatically generates a QR code containing the payment details.
Ask your client to scan the QR code using their banking app (on their smartphone) to pay.
Once the payment is made, Accountable notifies you that the payment is on its way.
Once the payment is successfully received, Accountable displays "Payment received".
You then have the option to either close the screen or add this payment as non-invoice revenue by tapping "Add as non-invoice revenue".
If you choose to add it as non-invoice revenue, you are redirected to the revenue form to fill in the payment details and save them so the entry appears in your Revenue List.

Open the Accountable mobile app and go to the Revenue screen.
Tap on Add non-invoice revenue.
Fill in the form with the relevant information about the revenue.
After completing the form, tap on "Add & Get paid via QR code".
