> **Description:** The QR API enables generation and management of QR codes for various use cases, including payment initiation, website redirects, and app deep linking, with tracking and analytics capabilities.

# QR API

The QR API lets businesses interact with customers using Vipps or MobilePay QR codes.

* Generate QR codes that redirect the user to a website or to the Vipps  or MobilePay  app where the payment suggestion is presented for approval.
* Get information about [personal QR codes](https://developer.vippsmobilepay.com/docs/knowledge-base/qr-code.md#personal-qr) such as the user's phone number.
