Requirement
Since 2018, the previously standard payment slips in Switzerland have been supplemented or replaced by the so-called QR-bill. The central component is a QR code with a Swiss cross in the middle. Details on the new standard can be found under QR-bill – Swiss Payment Standards.
The logo addition is not part of the QR code specification, but is rather made possible by the fact that QR codes have a very high tolerance for interference due to the strong error correction. The Swiss cross can therefore simply be inserted as an image in the middle of the barcode, which is still scannable.
Implementation
Below you will find a letter project for the List & Label sample application, which contains the respective barcode with the extensions around the Swiss cross and the logo.
Hint: If the QR code also contains umlauts, please see the article Encoding UTF-8 characters in QR codes in our knowledgebase.
Current List & Label versions
The Design-QR-barcode is available from the Professional Edition onwards. Images or logos can be conveniently integrated into this special QR code to enable individual designs to be created quickly and easily.

A regular QR-Code-barcode can be used here in combination with an image object. It makes sense to group the barcode with the image so that both objects can be moved together.
