GloryPay QR API

Ways to accept GloryPay QR

Pick what fits your shop. Every option creates the same SEPA QR code, and the money goes straight into the seller's GloryPay account.

1. Get a seller code

Every seller with a GloryPay account receives a seller code from GloryPay. Ask for it via support. The seller's name and IBAN are linked to the code by GloryPay and can never be changed through the API.

Keep the code on your server. Never put it in a web page, an app or JavaScript that customers can read.

Test code. Next to the seller code there is a test code (it starts with gps_test_). The seller creates it in the members area (Webshop & developers), or you create it in the developer panel. With a test code the API answers exactly the same, with "test": true, but the QR code contains no payment order, the payment page shows "TEST · do not pay" and the request expires after at most 1 hour. Use it to build and test your integration, then switch to the seller code.

2. Create a QR code

POST https://glorypay.com/api/v1/qr
Authorization: Bearer <seller code>
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "article": "Photo set Summer",
  "price": 24.99,
  "order": "WC-10452",
  "return_url": "https://shop.example/thanks",
  "valid_minutes": 1440
}

Response 201:

{
  "id": "Hk7pQ2xZra",
  "test": false,
  "status": "open",
  "article": "Photo set Summer",
  "order": "WC-10452",
  "amount": "24.99",
  "currency": "EUR",
  "merchant": "Seller name",
  "iban": "BE68539007547034",
  "reference": "+++123/4567/89002+++",
  "epc": "BCD\n002\n1\nSCT\n...",
  "qr_svg": "<svg ...>",
  "qr_svg_url": "https://glorypay.com/api/v1/qr/Hk7pQ2xZra/svg",
  "payment_url": "https://glorypay.com/p/Hk7pQ2xZra",
  "expires_at": "2026-10-19T14:40:00.000Z"
}

3. Show it to your customer

• On a computer: show the image <img src="{qr_svg_url}" width="280" alt="SEPA QR code"> (optional ?size=120 to 1000), or insert qr_svg directly. The customer scans it with the banking app on their phone.
• On a phone: a customer cannot scan their own screen. Link to payment_url. That page shows copy buttons for IBAN, amount and reference, a button to download the payment order as a PDF, and the QR code.

The QR code follows the European EPC standard (SEPA credit transfer). Banking apps fill in the beneficiary, IBAN, amount and the structured reference automatically.

4. Check the payment

The money arrives directly in the seller's GloryPay account. The seller finds the payment in the GloryPay app by its structured reference (reference). Automatic payment confirmation is not available yet.

GET https://glorypay.com/api/v1/qr/{id} returns the request with its status: open, expired or cancelled. After expiry the image returns 410.
