Hey @Aminelmutuk1,

To create a VisaNet invoice with a link or QR code, you can use the Visa Direct Payouts API or the Visa Payment Gateway API. These APIs allow you to generate payment requests that can include a link or QR code for your customers to use for payment.

Here’s a high-level overview of how you can create a VisaNet invoice with a link or QR code:

1. Create a Payment Request: Use the Visa Payment Gateway API to create a payment request. This request can generate a link or QR code that your customer can use to make the payment.

2. Generate QR Code: Once the payment request is created, you can generate a QR code that embeds the payment link.

Implementation Steps:

1. Set Up Your Visa Developer Account: Sign up for a Visa developer account and get access to the Visa Payment Gateway API.

2. Create a Payment Request:
- Use the `createPaymentRequest` endpoint of the Visa Payment Gateway API to create a payment request.

Below is a simplified example of how you might create a payment request and generate a QR code:

```python
# START 

import requests
import qrcode

# Visa Payment Gateway API endpoint to create a payment request
payment_request_url = "https://api.visa.com/visapaymentgateway/v1/paymentrequests"
payment_request_payload = {
"merchantId": "YOUR_MERCHANT_ID",
"amount": "100.00",
"currency": "USD",
"description": "Invoice for services rendered",
# Add other required fields here
}

payment_request_headers = {
"Content-Type": "application/json",
"Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN",
}

# Create payment request
payment_request_response = requests.post(payment_request_url, json=payment_request_payload, headers=payment_request_headers)
payment_request_data = payment_request_response.json()

# Extract payment link from response
payment_link = payment_request_data["paymentLink"]

# Generate QR code for the payment link
qr_code = qrcode.make(payment_link)
qr_code.save("payment_qr_code.png")

# END 
```

Timeframe:
- Setup and Integration: Setting up your Visa developer account and integrating with the Visa Payment Gateway API can take a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on your development resources and expertise.
- Payment Request Creation: Creating a payment request and generating a link or QR code is a real-time operation and should only take a few seconds once your integration is complete.

Please refer to the Visa Payment Gateway API documentation for detailed information on required fields, authentication, and other configurations.
