Expected Behavior

Hi, I am using the Bezahlcode Payload of the payload generator in the vb.net framework 4.5 Using the below code I am expecting the generated QR Code to work.

    Dim generator As New BezahlCode(BezahlCode.AuthorityType.singlepaymentsepa, "Testname", iban:="AT123412341234123456", bic:="BAWAATWW", amount:=100.00, reason:="Test")
    Dim payload As String = generator.ToString()
    Dim qrGenerator As New QRCoder.QRCodeGenerator
    Dim qrCodeData As QRCoder.QRCodeData = qrGenerator.CreateQrCode(payload, qrGenerator.ECCLevel.Q)
    Dim qrCode As New QRCoder.QRCode(qrCodeData)
    Dim qrCodeasBitmap As Bitmap = qrCode.GetGraphic(5)
    QRCodePic.BackgroundImage = qrCodeasBitmap

Current Behavior

The QR code can't be read by multiple banking app readers.

Possible Solution (optional)

Any idea?

Hi @SkChris ,

Bezahlcode is only one of several standards for mapping remittance information into QRCodes. Whether an app can read a code depends on whether the app developer has implemented the respective code standard. Bezahlcode generally seems to be on the decline. (The website with the technical specification, for example, is no longer online).

Have you tried using an alternative code type like "Girocode"? This is also supported by the QRCoder Payload Generator. (You can find more information on Girocode in our Wiki: https://github.com/codebude/QRCoder/wiki/Advanced-usage---Payload-generators#37-girocode )
