Before issuing your first invoice, Bill Alps needs a few details about your company: legal name, address, UID number, bank details. Plan for less than 5 minutes.
1. Create your account
- Go to app.bill-alps.ch and click Create account.
- Enter your business email and choose a password (or use Google / Microsoft).
- Click the confirmation link sent to your inbox.
- You are redirected to the company onboarding wizard.
Free plan
No credit card required at sign-up. The free plan lets you issue up to 20 invoices per month for 10 clients in CHF.
2. Fill in your company details
Under Settings → Company, fill in:
- Legal name: exact company name (as listed in the commercial register).
- UID number: format CHE-XXX.XXX.XXX, required for QR-bills.
- Full address: street, number, postal code, locality, country.
- Email and phone to display on documents.
- Logo: PNG or SVG file, ideally 512 × 512 px.
3. Add your bank details
Mandatory to generate compliant Swiss QR-bills. Fill in:
- IBAN or QR-IBAN of the receiving account.
- Bank name (shown on the payment slip).
- Default currency (CHF for Swiss invoices).
QR-IBAN vs classic IBAN
If your bank provided a QR-IBAN (starts with CH and includes a creditor identifier), use it to generate structured QR references. A classic IBAN is accepted and generates a free reference.
4. Personalise your documents
Under Settings → Appearance, define the PDF accent color, the invoice number format (e.g. 2026-0001) and the legal notices to show in the footer.
Ready to invoice
Once these settings are saved you can issue your first invoice. See the guide.
