Create Swiss QR Bill in n8n: Two Complete Workflows (With and Without an Existing PDF)
· 25 min read
Every Swiss invoice must carry a Swiss QR Bill (also called Swiss QR payment slip) so that banks and accounting software can scan and process the payment automatically. n8n and PDF4me make that generation fully automatic. This guide walks through two production-ready workflows: one that overlays the QR slip onto an existing PDF already in Dropbox, and one that generates a standalone QR Bill document from payment data alone with no background PDF required. Both run in under 10 minutes to set up.
Two workflows covered in this guide
Workflow A (4 nodes)
Trigger → Download PDF → Create SwissQR (Binary Data) → Upload. Output: 602 kB. Best when you already have a PDF invoice in Dropbox.
Workflow B (3 nodes)
Trigger → Create SwissQR (None) → Upload. Output: 132 kB. Best when you only have payment data and need a standalone QR slip.
