Scanning invoices
Turn any invoice or receipt into checked payment data and a ready-to-pay QR code. Each page you scan uses one credit.
1. Upload a document
Open New Scan, then drag a file onto the upload area or click to choose one from your device.
- Supported formats: PDF, JPG, PNG, GIF and WebP.
- Maximum file size is 5 MB.
- For a multi-page PDF you pick exactly which pages to scan on the next screen.
Each page you choose to scan uses one credit. If a scan fails, that credit is automatically refunded.
2. Choose the pages to scan
After uploading, ScanPay shows you the document before reading it. A single image or one-page PDF just needs a quick confirm. For a PDF with several pages you get a thumbnail of every page and tick only the ones worth scanning.
- The first page is selected by default. Tick or untick any page, or use Select all pages.
- Each page you select costs 1 credit, and the button shows the running total before you confirm.
- Not sure what a page contains? Click it to enlarge the preview.
Because you choose the pages yourself, you can leave out cover sheets or terms and conditions and spend credits only on the pages that hold the payment details.
3. Wait for processing
After uploading, the AI reads your document. This usually takes a few seconds. The result page refreshes by itself the moment the extraction is ready, so you do not need to reload.
4. Read the extracted data
When the scan is done you see the extracted payment data: the recipient, amount, IBAN and reference. Each value has a confidence score so you can verify it at a glance before paying.
Understanding confidence scores
The coloured bar next to each value shows how sure the AI is about it:
- Green (70% or higher): high confidence, almost always correct.
- Amber (40–69%): worth a second look against the original invoice.
- Red (below 40%): low confidence, so double-check this value before paying.
ScanPay reads documents very accurately, but you are always in control: confirm the details in your own banking app before sending any payment.
5. Pay with the QR code
Every successful scan also produces a SEPA QR code. Open your banking app, scan the code and the payment is pre-filled for you.
- Version 2 is recommended and works with most modern banking apps.
- Version 1 is also provided in case your bank only supports the older format.
Your scan history
Every scan is saved under History, with its status and amount. Open any entry to see the extracted data and QR codes again.
When a scan fails
If a document cannot be read (for example a very blurry photo), the scan is marked failed.
Failed scans never cost you a credit. Try again with a clearer photo or a PDF.
Frequently asked questions
Which file types can I scan?
PDF documents and JPG, PNG, GIF or WebP images, up to 5 MB per file.
How long are my files kept?
Uploaded invoice files are stored for 30 days and then removed automatically.
What if a value is wrong?
Check the confidence scores and compare them with the original invoice. You always confirm the final payment in your own banking app.
Does a failed scan cost a credit?
No. If a scan cannot be completed, the credit is refunded to your balance automatically.
Can I scan several pages from one PDF?
Yes. When you upload a multi-page PDF you choose the pages to scan on the next screen. Each selected page is read separately and uses one credit, so a five-page PDF where you pick three pages uses three credits.
