Swiss QR-Bill
The QR-bill has replaced the orange and red payment slips. GrandTotal generates the payment part and the Swiss QR Code – and places both in the layout itself during layout recognition.
What's in the code?
The receipt and payment part sit at the bottom of the invoice, with the Swiss QR Code. It contains the account, amount, currency, reference and both your address and the client's. Your client scans it with their banking app and the payment is captured without retyping.
QR-IBAN or IBAN
With a QR-IBAN, GrandTotal creates the 27-digit QR reference your bank uses to match payments. With a regular IBAN, the code carries an RF reference according to ISO 11649, built from the invoice number. Both come back with the payment, and GrandTotal posts them from the CAMT file. The amount is the open balance; paid invoices and quotes get no code.
Automatic in layout recognition
When you turn an existing PDF invoice into a layout with layout recognition, GrandTotal detects an existing payment part, removes it and rebuilds it: cutting lines with scissors, the labels of receipt and payment part, and the Swiss QR Code. On a Mac set to the Switzerland region, the option "Add Swiss Payment Slip" is also preselected – so a template without a payment part gets one as well.
GrandTotal writes addresses into the code in structured form, as banks have required since November 2025. You can check any code with the free QR Code Validator.
