README

Library to generate QR payment codes for European Union (EPC standard, also called GiroCode in Germany). Currently used in Germany, Austria, Netherlands, Finland and Belgium.

See also QR code payment generator for Czech, Slovak or Hungarian accounts

Installation

Via composer: composer require rikudou/euqrpayment

Usage

In the constructor you must supply IBAN which may be a string or an instance of rikudou\EuQrPayment\Iban\IbanInterface.

Example with string:

<?php

use rikudou\EuQrPayment\QrPayment;

$payment = new QrPayment("CZ5530300000001325090010");

Example with base IBAN class:

<?php

use rikudou\EuQrPayment\QrPayment;
use rikudou\EuQrPayment\Iban\IBAN;

$payment = new QrPayment(new IBAN("CZ5530300000001325090010"));

The IbanInterface is useful in case you want to create an adapter that transforms your local format (BBAN) to IBAN.

This package contains one such class for Czech accounts:

<?php

use rikudou\EuQrPayment\QrPayment;
use rikudou\EuQrPayment\Iban\CzechIbanAdapter;

$payment = new QrPayment(new CzechIbanAdapter(1325090010, 3030));

Setting payment details

All payment details can be set via setters:

<?php

use rikudou\EuQrPayment\QrPayment;
use rikudou\EuQrPayment\Sepa\CharacterSet;
use rikudou\EuQrPayment\Sepa\Purpose;

$payment = new QrPayment("CZ5530300000001325090010");
$payment
    ->setCharacterSet(CharacterSet::UTF_8)
    ->setBic("AIRACZPP")
    ->setBeneficiaryName("My Cool Company")
    ->setAmount(100)
    ->setPurpose(Purpose::ACCOUNT_MANAGEMENT)
    ->setRemittanceText("Invoice ID: XXX")
    ->setCreditorReference('RF123456') // setting both creditor reference and remittance text will actually result in exception
    ->setInformation("This is some note")
    ->setCurrency("EUR");

Exceptions

This library throws LogicException and InvalidArgumentException, here is a list of methods that throw exceptions and the reason for that:

• __construct() - InvalidArgumentException - if the $iban parameter is not a string or instance of rikudou\EuQrPayment\Iban\IbanInterface
• setBic() and setSwift() - InvalidArgumentException - if the BIC is shorter than 8 characters or longer than 11 characters
• setCharacterSet() - InvalidArgumentException - if the character set is not a valid character set
• setBeneficiaryName() - InvalidArgumentException - if the beneficiary name is longer than 70 characters
• setAmount() - InvalidArgumentException - if the amount is lower than zero or more than 999,999,999.99
• setPurpose() - InvalidArgumentException - if the purpose is longer than 4 characters
• setRemittanceText() - InvalidArgumentException - if the remittance text is longer than 140 characters
• setCreditorReference() - InvalidArgumentException - if the creditor reference is longer than 35 characters
• setInformation() and setComment() - InvalidArgumentException - if the comment is longer than 70 characters
• setCurrency() - InvalidArgumentException - if the currency is not exactly 3 characters long
• getQrString() - LogicException - if the beneficiary name is missing or if the resulting string is bigger than 331 bytes or if both remittance text and creditor reference are set
• getQrImage() - LogicException - if the endroid/qr-code library is not installed

QR Code image

This library provides many implementations of QR code image using its sister library rikudou/qr-payment-qr-code-provider. If any supported QR code generating library is installed, the method getQrCode() will return an instance of \Rikudou\QrPaymentQrCodeProvider\QrCode which can be used to get an image containing the generated QR payment data.

<?php

use rikudou\EuQrPayment\QrPayment;
use Endroid\QrCode\QrCode;

$payment = new QrPayment(...);

$qrCode = $payment->getQrCode();

// get the raw image data and display them in the browser
header('Content-Type: image/png');
echo $qrCode->getRawString();

// use in an img html tag
echo "<img src='{$qrCode->getDataUri()}'>";

// write to a file
$qrCode->writeToFile('/tmp/some-file.png');

// get the raw object from the underlying system
$raw = $qrCode->getRawObject();
// let's assume we're using endroid/qr-code v4
assert($raw instanceof QrCode);
// do some custom transformations
$raw->setLabelFontSize(15);
// the object is still referenced by the adapter, meaning we can now render it the same way as before
echo "<img src='{$qrCode->getDataUri()}'>";

The Purpose class

The class is generated via script createLists.php as it downloads the XLS file that documents all the purpose strings. The class is committed to git so that there doesn't have to be any remote file downloading etc. when using this package in production.

After generating the class you should check that there are no errors as the code that generates it is most likely not bullet-proof.
