Why the QR Invoice Has Become Essential in Switzerland
Since October 2022, the QR invoice has replaced the old payment slips (BVR/ESR) in Switzerland. This new standard considerably simplifies payments for your customers and reduces data entry errors.
Concrete Advantages of the QR Invoice
- Payment with one scan: your customers pay directly from their banking app or TWINT
- Zero data entry errors: all data (IBAN, amount, reference) is encoded
- Automatic reconciliation: ToBill detects received payments and updates your invoices
- Guaranteed compliance: meets Swiss Payments standards
