Donation QR Block

설명

Donation QR Block adds a Gutenberg block that displays an EPC/GiroCode QR code for accepting SEPA bank donations. When scanned with a banking app, the QR code pre-fills all transfer details (recipient, IBAN, BIC, reference) – making it easy for supporters to donate.

Features

  • Native Gutenberg block – No shortcodes, works seamlessly with the block editor
  • Live preview – QR code updates in real-time as you edit bank details
  • Fully customizable – Edit recipient name, bank, IBAN, BIC, amount, and payment reference
  • No external services – QR codes are generated locally, your bank details never leave your server
  • Privacy-friendly – No tracking, no API calls, no external dependencies
  • Customizable appearance – Change background color to match your theme
  • Graceful fallback – Shows bank details even if QR generation is unavailable

What is an EPC QR Code?

The EPC QR code (European Payments Council Quick Response Code) is a standard for encoding SEPA credit transfer data. In Germany, it’s known as “GiroCode”. When scanned with a compatible banking app, it automatically fills in all payment details, reducing errors and making donations effortless.

Supported in 36 SEPA countries including: Germany, Austria, Belgium, Netherlands, France, Spain, Italy, and more.

Use Cases

  • Non-profit organizations accepting donations
  • Churches and religious organizations
  • Sports clubs and associations
  • Crowdfunding campaigns
  • Event organizers collecting fees
  • Any organization accepting SEPA bank transfers

FAQ

Which banking apps support EPC QR codes?

Most European banking apps support EPC/GiroCode scanning, including:

  • Sparkasse
  • Volksbank
  • Deutsche Bank
  • ING
  • N26
  • Revolut
  • And many more…

Is my bank data sent to external servers?

No. All QR codes are generated locally – in your browser (editor) and on your server (frontend). Your bank details never leave your infrastructure.

Can I customize the appearance?

Yes. You can change the background color via the block settings. For further customization, you can add custom CSS targeting the .donation-qr-block class.

Does it work without JavaScript?

Yes. The QR code is rendered server-side as a static image, so it works even if visitors have JavaScript disabled.

What if the QR code doesn’t appear on the frontend?

The QR code requires the endroid/qr-code PHP library. Install it via Composer:

composer require endroid/qr-code

Without this library, the block displays bank details only. The editor preview always works regardless.

Can I set a default donation amount?

Yes. You can set a default amount in EUR via the block settings. The default is 5 EUR. Set it to 0 if you want donors to choose their own amount.
