From CHF 29 a month, excluding VAT. Your accountant's fees are charged separately.

Invoices · from PLUS

Send the invoice. See the payment.

Create invoices with a Swiss QR-bill directly in Buchsnap. If a customer doesn't pay, send a payment reminder. For subscriptions and rent, set up recurring invoices that are generated automatically. Because everything is in one place, your accountant never has to enter anything twice.

Invoices that can be paid straight away

This is what an invoice from Buchsnap looks like: your company logo and colours, every line item with VAT, followed by the total and the payment terms. The second page carries the payment slip with the Swiss QR Code. Your customer scans it with their banking app, and the amount, account and reference are already filled in.

As soon as the payment appears on the bank statement, the invoice is automatically marked as paid.

  • VAT rates of 8.1%, 2.6% and 3.8% per line item

Point of sale and payment providers

TWINT, SumUp, Stripe: settlements included.

On every plan, Buchsnap imports settlement reports from TWINT, Worldline, SumUp and Uber as CSV files.

FAQ

Questions from business owners

I run a sole proprietorship (Einzelfirma). Is it worth it?

If your accountant currently posts your receipts once a year from a folder, you'll mainly save time gathering them and handing in the ones that went missing. For many sole proprietorships, BASIC is enough.

Can I use Buchsnap without an accountant?

No. Buchsnap is built for working with an accountant. Our directory lists firms that use it.

Which plan do I need?

BASIC if you only supply receipts. PLUS if you are VAT-registered, issue invoices or want to follow your reports throughout the year. PRO for year-end closing in Buchsnap and for TWINT, SumUp, Stripe or an online shop.

Are my accountant's fees included in the price?

No. The subscription covers the software only. Your accountant invoices you directly for their work, just as before.

How long do I have to keep receipts?

In Switzerland, accounting books and records must be kept for ten years. Keeping them electronically is permitted under the conditions of the Ordinance on Accounting Records (GeBüV). Check with your accountant whether you need to keep paper receipts after uploading them.

My staff don't speak German. Is that a problem?

Yes. Buchsnap is available in German, French, Italian, English, Spanish and Romanian. Everyone chooses their own language.

No more hunting for receipts in December.
