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

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.</p>
<p><strong>Booking System</strong> — Let customers book your services directly from your website. Manage all bookings from a clean admin dashboard.</p>
<p><strong>Multilingual (DE/FR/IT/EN)</strong> — Switzerland has 4 official languages. Your website can now serve customers in German, French, Italian, and English — all from one plugin.</p>

<h3>External Services</h3>
<h4>QR Code Generation (Optional — Disabled by Default)</h4>
<p>QR codes for Swiss QR-Bill invoices can optionally be generated using the QR Server API (api.qrserver.com). This feature is <strong>disabled by default</strong> and must be explicitly enabled by the administrator in Swiss Business <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> Settings <span aria-hidden="true" class="wp-exclude-emoji">→</span> “Enable QR Code Generation”.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>What it does:</strong> Converts Swiss QR-Bill payment data into a QR code image</li>
<li><strong>What data is sent:</strong> 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.</li>

<li><strong>Who can see it:</strong> Only the site administrator who clicks “Download QR-Bill”</li>

Swiss Business Suite

All-in-One WordPress solution for Swiss SMEs: Multilingual (DE/FR/IT/EN) + Booking System + Swiss QR-Bill Invoice Generator.

tellbill

<p><a href="https://tellbill.ch" rel="nofollow ugc">Tellbill</a> is a Swiss invoicing service: QR-bill invoices (ISO 20022), automatic payment reminders, bank reconciliation and credit notes. This plugin connects your WooCommerce shop to your Tellbill account.</p>
<p><strong>What it does</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>When an order reaches the trigger status you choose (default: “Processing”), the plugin calls the Tellbill API and creates the matching invoice — with a Swiss QR code — then (optionally) emails it to your customer.</li>
<li>The Tellbill invoice number is displayed in the orders list and in the order notes.</li>
<li><strong>Payment sync (optional):</strong> when the customer pays the QR-bill, Tellbill notifies WooCommerce through a signed webhook and the order is automatically marked as paid (stock, downloads, etc.).</li>
<li><strong>Refunds:</strong> a WooCommerce refund automatically creates the matching credit note in Tellbill (VAT included; full refund = full credit note).</li>
<li><strong>Duplicate-safe:</strong> each order is sent with a unique identifier (<code>external_id = "wc_<order id>"</code>). If the same order is sent twice (double status change, network retry), Tellbill returns the existing invoice instead of creating a duplicate.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Requirements:</strong> a Tellbill account (https://tellbill.ch) and an API key.</p>
<p><strong>Which trigger status should you choose?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Invoice-based selling</strong> (very common in Switzerland: the customer receives the goods, then pays within X days): trigger “Processing” or “Completed”. The invoice carries your payment term; if the customer is late, Tellbill sends reminders automatically.</li>
<li><strong>Prepayment by QR-bill</strong> (the customer pays <em>before</em> you ship): enable the “Direct bank transfer” gateway so the order lands in “On hold”, and set the trigger to “On hold”. The customer receives the QR-bill, pays, then you ship.</li>
<li><strong>Paid online</strong> (card at checkout): trigger “Processing” — the Tellbill invoice then serves as a receipt and accounting record.</li>
</ul>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>This plugin communicates with the Tellbill API (https://tellbill.ch) — the invoicing service it connects to; that is its sole purpose. No data is sent until you configure your API key.</p>
<p>Data transmitted to the Tellbill API (https://tellbill.ch/api/v1, or the URL you configure):</p>
<ul>
<li>When an invoice is created (order reaching the trigger status): the customer’s billing details (name, email, address), the order lines (item names, quantities, prices) and the order number.</li>
<li>When a refund is issued: the refunded amount and the refund reason.</li>
<li>When you click “Test connection”: only your API key is transmitted (as a header).</li>
</ul>
<p>This data is required to issue the invoices. It is processed by Tellbill according to its terms of service and privacy policy:</p>
<ul>
<li>Terms of service: https://tellbill.ch/cgu</li>
<li>Privacy policy: https://tellbill.ch/confidentialite</li>
</ul>
<h3>Translations</h3>
<p>The plugin ships with German (de_DE, de_CH), Italian (it_IT) and English (en_US, en_GB) translations — the four Swiss business languages are covered out of the box. Source strings are in French (built for the Swiss market). A <code>.pot</code> template is bundled in <code>/languages</code> for any additional language.</p>
