How to insert a QR code in Word

Can someone please help me out? I’m trying to figure out how to embed a QR code into Microsoft Word. Basically, when I'm printing out an invoice—not an official tax document, just a standard transaction receipt—I want to include a QR code that holds all the necessary payment info. I want my clients to be able to just scan it and pay immediately, instead of wasting everyone's time manually typing in routing numbers and account details into their banking apps... it's such a headache.

Hopefully, I've posted this in the right spot...

Man, I used to just grind through everything manually in Excel, then I eventually figured out how to use the Mail Merge feature to handle all the sizing and printing stuff automatically... it saves so much time.

Check it out, kind of like this https://www.extendoffice.com/documen...e-qr-code.html

There are plenty of plugins out there too, but honestly, who knows if they’re actually safe to install on your computer? A bit risky...

If I’m remembering correctly, you don't actually need that QR code. That's just for checking if a receipt is legit on the IRS website. What you really need is that 2D code that comes attached to payment slips. There are plenty of sites online that let you generate that 2D code manually; you just snap a photo of it using your banking app to pay. Is it safe? Is it reliable? Is it worth the hassle of manually generating a code for every single quote? Honestly, who knows. But that's what you need, so don't go wandering off in the wrong direction. Try Googling it and test out a few sites to see which ones feel right, unless someone else jumps in here with a better suggestion or a specific site they swear by.

Once you've generated the code, you just paste the image into Word, save it as a PDF, and send it off.

Thanks to both of you for the help.

Yeah, you're right, having at least a 2D barcode is enough.

I actually got an answer over on another subforum, and the first link there works perfectly fine; you can just copy and paste it into Word. This is a solid workaround for something like a freelancer or a small contractor who doesn't have a mountain of invoices. For a major corporation, you'd definitely need something more professional, but for my needs, this does the trick...

Here's the link, might be useful for anyone else...
