Thanks. But, if I pay to this address from a wallet that does not support BIP 70, will BitPay consider that invoice as paid?

Well yes, that's the whole point from the decoder, being able to pay without having a BIP70 compatible wallet. I have done it multiple times, It works.

Good. I thought they check metadata too.

I suppose you want to use this to decode a Bitpay payment URL?

Yes.

If so, you can do yourself without trusting any website by sending a GET request to the URL with the header "Accept" equal to "application/payment-request", which is basically what the tool does; It will return the address and amount to send.
