FAQs

How do I recognize a QR IBAN?
In a QR IBAN, the institute id, which is defined in the 5th to 9th character, is a number in the range of 30000 to 31999. (Example: CH44 3199 9123 0008 8901 2). For how to detect it in code, see https://github.com/sprain/php-swiss-qr-bill/issues/182#issuecomment-1229539977, (*6)

Why are you using final on most classes? I want to extend them!
This library implements the official specification of the QR bill. This implementation is not supposed to be adjusted as it might result in broken QR bills. Therefore many classes are marked as final. If you find the need to extend one of those final classes, you might have found a bug in this library. In that case it will be very helpful if you provide a bug report or even a pull request here. Thank you!, (*13)
