About Swiss QR Bill
From the official readme · v1.2.4Description
Swiss QR Bill for WooCommerce introduces a new payment method for shops located in Switzerland or Liechtenstein, following the harmonization of Swiss payments based on the ISO 20022 standard in the implementation of the new Swiss QR Bill (see paymentstandards.ch).
The Swiss QR bill can be used since 30 June 2020, it replaces the old Swiss “ESR” payment slips.
As a shop owner you can either use a new QR-IBAN number for your bank account, or a normal IBAN number, to send your clients valid Swiss QR bills, depending on what your bank provides you with.
You may consult this page for further information: The Swiss QR-bill.
REQUIREMENTS
This plugin requires a working installation of WordPress with everybody’s favorite shop plugin WooCommerce. It also requires you to enter a correct QR-IBAN or IBAN, depending on the version you activate. Furthermore, the PHP extension “intl” must be activated in your web hosting account. Please ask your host for yassistance if it is not activated.
LIMITATIONS
The plugin only works for shop owners in Switzerland and Liechtenstein. If your shop country is not set to one of these two countries then the plugin cannot be activated.
Your clients must also reside in Switzerland and Liechtenstein to issue Swiss QR bill payments to you. The payment method will not be displayed in the checkout to users from any other countries.
The only currencies supported by Swiss QR bill payments are CHF and EUR. If the plugin is activated, the Swiss QR bill payment method will only be displayed in the checkout for orders with these two currencies.
FUNCTIONALITY
- New “Swiss QR bill” payment method, which you can enable and disable like any other payment method. You can either activate the version with QR-IBAN (replacing the old orange ESR), or the version with a normal IBAN (old red ESR). When activated, the payment method offers you several options (see below).
- The plugin automatically generates a valid Swiss QR bill PDF document for every order that uses the Swiss QR bill payment method. The QR code section is always displayed on the bottom of the first page of the invoice PDF. If there are many order items the plugin will automatically add a second and further pages to the invoice PDF as required.
- The PDF invoice document is automatically attached to the order confirmation email which is sent by WooCommerce to the user immediately upon order completion.
- As a shop owner you can review and download the PDF invoice document anytime in the WooCommerce order screen.
- If you use the QR IBAN then it will automatically be validated for correctness after you enter it.
- You may optionally choose to restrict the Swiss QR bill payment method to registered users or to registered users who have completed at least one order previously.
- You may also restrict the Swiss QR bill payment method by product category.
We have various features in mind for the next versions. We are open to your suggestions.
