Swiss payment habits
In Switzerland a customer who does not see a familiar way to pay may abandon the cart. On the invoice side, the QR-bill has replaced the old payment slips since 2022, and TWINT is very widely used for mobile payment.
- QR-bill: amount, IBAN and reference in one code; paid in seconds through a banking app.
- TWINT: pay by phone; usable online, in store and for invoices.
- Cards and others: methods such as credit cards are still needed.
What it does for your business
A QR-bill with a reference makes matching payments easier, so there is less manual searching in accounting. TWINT shortens the payment step and can raise the share of completed orders.
The more familiar the payment step, the faster customers trust it.
Setting it up properly
- Generate the invoice and payment reference automatically
