eBill
eBill is the Swiss procedure by which invoices are delivered straight into the recipient’s e-banking; the recipient sees the invoice there and releases it for payment without retyping any data.
Definition
For the issuer the benefit lies in payment discipline and in the dispatch that disappears: no post, no PDF attachment, no query about the reference. Connection runs through a network partner rather than directly — the software needs a corresponding interface or a service provider.
eBill for private customers must be distinguished from electronic invoicing between businesses. The latter is about structured data that lands in the recipient’s accounting system; eBill is about an invoice a human releases.
What the software must be able to do
Check whether an eBill connection exists or runs through a partner, whether it is part of the subscription price, and whether the return leg — payment and reference — is processed in the same run as other payments.
