If you have a registered office and a bank account in Switzerland, you are obliged to issue your invoices with the Swiss QR Code according to the Swiss standard. The payment part and receipt as well as the QR code are attached to the invoice.
Note
The QR invoice replaces the different payment slips in Switzerland. Since September 2022, invoices can only be paid by QR invoice.
A regular IBAN or a QR-IBAN is required to be able to use the QR invoice in Switzerland.
The Swiss QR Code consists of a payment part and a receipt and is printed on every invoice that has Switzerland set as the billing address. The delivery address is not analysed for the Swiss QR invoice.
Steps:
-
Go to Appstore > Swiss QR Code .
-
Click Activate module to have every invoice with a Swiss billing address created as a QR invoice.
-
Select a Mode. This determines what will be printed on the QR code:
NON: No Reference will be printed on payment part and receipt.
SCOR: A 25-digit reference starting with RF is printed. If you select SCOR, you will need your regular IBAN.
QRR: A 27-digit reference is printed. If you select QRR, you will need a QR-IBAN.
-
Own IBAN: Enter your own IBAN or QR-IBAN, depending on the module you selected above.
-
Optional: Enter your BESR ID. The BESR ID is your 6-digit individual bank customer number.
-
Click Save.
Note
-
If you want to hide the footer of your letterhead on the last page, select Page Without letterhead.
-
If you want to print the Swiss QR code only on documents with the payment method Invoice, check the box Only for invoice payment mode.
The Swiss QR Code is printed on the last page of the invoice if Switzerland is specified as the country in the invoice - i.e. if the billing address or the deviating billing address is Switzerland (CH). The Swiss QR Code is printed at the bottom of the last page of the invoice so that your customer can detach the code and the receipt from the invoice.
Note
The QR Code is not displayed in draft mode! In order for the QR code to be displayed, the invoice must have an invoice number, i.e. the invoice must be approved.
