The qrbill package implements generating QR-bill QR codes, which is a Swiss 🇨🇭 payment standard:
-
Specification: Swiss Implementation Guidelines QR-bill
(version 2.1 from 30 September 2019 at the time of writing)
These QR codes fill in details of a bank wire transfer, either all fields or just some of them.
Recipients can scan the QR code with their mobile banking app, or with their online banking web site’s mobile scan functionality, making it much easier to send a wire transfer.
An example use case is for an association or club: you can send out payment instructions to your members to collect membership fees (“Einzahlungsschein”).
The SIX QR-bill validation portal successfully confirms that e.g. the code at the top right is valid.
To install the program:
go install github.com/stapelberg/qrbill/cmd/...
To run the program, run qrbill-api in the terminal. You will see an output like this:
% qrbill-api
2020/06/25 23:32:52 QR Bill generation URL: http://localhost:9933/qr?format=html
You can append the URL parameters on the left to customize the code. E.g.:
http://localhost:9933/qr?format=html&udname=Mary+Jane&udaddr1=Artikel+19b
When you open the URL in your web browser, you should see the following debug output:
When you scan the resulting QR code with your eBanking app, you should see a form like this:
Once you are happy with the code parameters, change the format parameter from
html to png, e.g.:
http://localhost:9933/qr?format=png&udname=Mary+Jane&udaddr1=Artikel+19b
To build confidence in our implementation, please help us verify that the codes scan as expected!
Scan each of the following 3 QR codes in your eBanking app, program or web interface, then file an issue (or send a pull request) with your test results! Thank you very much.
