Scanning invoices
Turn any invoice or receipt into checked payment data and a ready-to-pay QR code. Each 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 can choose which page to read.
A scan uses a single credit. If a scan fails, the credit is automatically refunded.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
