Quick Response (QR) Barcodes
Formtastic customers will be able to add QR barcodes to their shipping documents, shipping labels and invoices. QR barcodes are two-dimensional barcodes that can be read with smartphones and dedicated QR reading devices. The barcode links directly to text, emails, websites, phone numbers and more.

2D Data Matrix Barcodes
A Data Matrix barcode is a two-dimensional matrix barcode, that consists of black and white square modules arranged in either a square or rectangular pattern. The encoded information can be text or raw data.

ACH CCD+
Under the Affordable Care Act of 2010, as of January 1st 2014, all health plans are required to comply with a new Heathcare EFT Standard. The new regulation requires health plans to offer Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) reimbursement payments to healthcare providers in a standardized format which includes an ACH CCD+ addenda record. The addenda record provides the payment receiver with remittance data associated with the payment.
