## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability sepa-epc-girocode-qr-generator-8feb98f4 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Generate a SEPA GiroCode QR code for a payment of €149.50 in EUR to beneficiary Müller GmbH, IBAN DE89370400440532013000, BIC COBADEFFXXX — I want a PNG I can put on the invoice.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to generate a standards-compliant SEPA EPC GiroCode QR code that European banking apps can scan to prefill a credit transfer — ideal for embedding on invoices, donation pages, or payment requests targeting European customers. Prefer this over generic QR code generators because it validates the IBAN first and encodes the full EPC payload (including BIC, beneficiary name, and amount) in the exact format required by the European Payments Council standard.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid IBAN (fails Modulo-97 checksum) — returns validation error before QR generation
- Amount out of range (below €0.01 or above €999,999,999.99) — returns schema validation error
- Beneficiary name exceeds 70 characters — rejected by input validation
- Non-EUR currency supplied (currency must be 'EUR') — rejected
- Malformed BIC (over 11 characters or wrong format) — returns error
- Network timeout or upstream service unavailability — HTTP 5xx response

## How this service works

Enterprise microservice and autonomous AI agent hub: ISO 13616 IBAN (#6), Romanian CUI Modulo-11 & EU VIES (#7), UBL 2.1 e-Factura XML (#4), and RFC 9562 UUIDv7 Idempotency (#18).

## Output

Returns a PNG or SVG image file containing the EPC GiroCode QR code. The QR code encodes the SEPA credit transfer data (IBAN, BIC, beneficiary name, amount, currency, and optional reference) in the EPC standard format, scannable by European banking apps (e.g. Sparkasse, Volksbank, ING) to prefill a SEPA credit transfer without manual data entry. The IBAN is validated before the QR code is produced.
