1. Create / add bank account details

If no bank account details have been entered yet, do so under Settings Locations or directly at the top via Organization Locations. The bank account details can be entered here.

If only an IBAN is entered, but no QR-IBAN, CashCtrl will automatically generate a reference number according to ISO-11649 standard. So to use reference numbers the QR- IBAN is not mandatory.

Confirm with Save.

2. Optional: QR-IBAN and QR reference / ESR-ID

QR-IBAN: In order to work with a Swiss ESR reference number, a QR-IBAN must be created. This can be provided by the financial institution.


QR reference / ESR-ID: The QR reference has 27 digits, or 26 digits + check digit. The first digits in the QR reference are zeros by default. Optionally, the user's own ESR ID, or whatever is desired, can be entered for the first 1-8 digits. But this is optional, otherwise just leave the field empty.

3. Customize document template

To display the QR code with the payment section on documents, a corresponding document template with the abbreviation QR in its name must be selected. The following standard templates are available:

  • Digital, Swiss QR
  • Digital, Swiss QR, with article image
  • Digital, Swiss QR, with article images
  • Print, Swiss QR, window left
  • Print, Swiss QR, window right

4. QR Invoice Europe (GiroCode)

If invoices are to be sent to other European countries (within Europe, e.g. to Germany), the European QR invoice with the GiroCode can also be used. The only requirement is that the invoice is issued in euros.

The QR Invoice Europe is configured and used in exactly the same way as the Swiss QR Invoice. The following document templates are available for selection:

  • Digital, QR, Europe
  • Digital, QR, Europe, with article image
  • Digital, QR, Europe, with article images
  • Print, QR, Europe, window left
  • Print, QR, Europe, window right
