Create an invoice

Bill Alps automatically generates a compliant Swiss QR-bill on every invoice. Here are the steps to create and send your first one.

1. New invoice

1. Open the Invoices menu from the sidebar.
2. Click New invoice in the top right.
3. Pick an existing client or create one directly from the form.

2. Add the line items

For each line, enter:

• Description: label of the service or product.
• Quantity: hours, days, units…
• Unit price: excluding VAT.
• VAT rate: 8.1%, 2.6%, 3.8% or exempt (depending on the service).

Bill Alps automatically computes the net total, VAT per rate and gross total. Add as many lines as needed.

3. Configure due date and reference

• Issue date: today by default.
• Due date: 30 days by default, adjustable.
• Invoice number: auto-incremented based on your format.
• QR reference: auto-generated for your QR-IBAN.

4. Preview and send

Click Preview to see the final PDF with the Swiss QR slip. Three ways to handle delivery:

• Download the PDF and send it manually.
• Click Send by email so Bill Alps sends the invoice to the client with the PDF attached.
• Click Mark as sent if you have already shared the invoice through another channel.

When Bill Alps sends an invoice email, the message is sent from noreply@bill-alps.ch and the invoice PDF is attached. Example:
