More information is available from the Wikipedia page on +<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_Payment_Descriptor">Short +Payment Descriptor</a>.

There is also the +<a href="http://www.ferd-net.de/front_content.php?idcat=231">ZUGFeRD</a> +file format that perhaps could be transfered using QR codes, but I am +not sure if it is done already.
