QR Code Verification — Proving Invoice Authenticity
Understand how cryptographic verification and QR codes prove document authenticity.
Quick Steps
- 1Issue an Invoice
When you issue an invoice, Invoicemonk automatically creates a cryptographic hash and generates a unique verification ID and QR code.
- 2Share with Confidence
Send the invoice to your client. The QR code is embedded in the PDF and online view.
- 3Verify Authenticity
Anyone can scan the QR code or visit the verification URL to confirm the document is genuine and untampered.
How Verification Works
Every issued invoice and receipt on Invoicemonk comes with a unique verification ID and QR code. This allows anyone — your client, an auditor, or a regulator — to independently verify the document's authenticity.
- When an invoice is issued, Invoicemonk creates a cryptographic hash of all invoice data
- A unique verification ID is assigned and a QR code is generated
- The QR code links to a public verification page showing the invoice details
- Anyone scanning the QR code or visiting the verification URL can confirm the invoice is genuine and hasn't been tampered with
Verifying an Invoice
- Scan the QR code on any Invoicemonk invoice or receipt
- Or visit the verification URL directly
- The verification page shows the document status, amounts, dates, and confirmation that the data matches
