Swiss Business Suite

Swiss Business Suite is a WordPress plugin built specifically for Swiss small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). It solves three problems that every Swiss business faces:

Swiss QR-Bill Invoicing — Generate legally compliant Swiss QR-Bill invoices automatically. Customers can pay instantly by scanning the QR code with any Swiss banking app (PostFinance, TWINT, UBS, Raiffeisen, ZKB). QR codes are generated entirely in the user’s browser — no payment data is ever sent to any external server.

Booking System — Let customers book your services directly from your website. Manage all bookings from a clean admin dashboard.

Multilingual (DE/FR/IT/EN) — Switzerland has 4 official languages. Your website can now serve customers in German, French, Italian, and English — all from one plugin.

Who is this for?

• Coiffeur salons, physiotherapy clinics, beauty studios
• Treuhänder (fiduciaries) and accounting firms
• Consulting businesses and coaches
• Any Swiss SME that takes bookings and sends invoices

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Swiss QR-Bill?

The Swiss QR-Bill is the official electronic payment standard in Switzerland, replacing the old orange and red payment slips since October 2022.

Do I need a QR-IBAN or a regular IBAN?

Both work. The plugin automatically detects which type you have and uses the correct reference format.

Which banking apps can scan the QR code?

PostFinance App, TWINT, UBS Mobile Banking, Raiffeisen E-Banking, ZKB Mobile Banking, and all Swiss banking apps that support the Swiss QR-Bill standard.

External Services

QR Code Generation (Optional — Disabled by Default)

QR codes for Swiss QR-Bill invoices can optionally be generated using the QR Server API (api.qrserver.com). This feature is disabled by default and must be explicitly enabled by the administrator in Swiss Business → Settings → “Enable QR Code Generation”.

• What it does: Converts Swiss QR-Bill payment data into a QR code image
• What data is sent: The Swiss QR-Bill payment string containing: creditor IBAN, company name, address, invoice amount, currency, and debtor name. No WordPress user data or passwords are ever sent.
• When it is sent: Only when an admin generates or downloads an invoice from the WordPress admin panel. It is never triggered by front-end visitors.
• Who can see it: Only the site administrator who clicks “Download QR-Bill”
• Caching: Generated QR codes are cached on your server for 30 days — the API is only called once per invoice
• Service provider: GoQR.me / QR Server (free, no account needed)
• Terms of Service: https://goqr.me/terms/
• Privacy Policy: https://goqr.me/privacy/

Note: Your server needs outbound internet access to generate QR codes. If your server blocks outbound connections, a clear error message will be shown instead of the QR code.

Google Translate (Optional)

This plugin includes an optional Google Translate widget for page translation. This feature is disabled by default and only activates if explicitly enabled in Settings.

When enabled, the Google Translate service is loaded from translate.google.com. By enabling this feature, page content may be sent to Google’s servers for translation.

• Service: Google Translate
• Data sent: Page text content (only when translation feature is enabled by admin)
• When: Only when a visitor uses the language switcher and Google Translate is enabled
• Terms of Service: https://policies.google.com/terms
• Privacy Policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy

This is a third-party service. Please review Google’s terms and privacy policy before enabling this feature.
