Invoicing for photographers: IPS QR codes, deposits and SEF e-invoices

Why an IPS QR code

IPS QR is the National Bank of Serbia standard for instant payments. The client scans the code in their banking app and the payee, account, amount, purpose and reference fill in automatically. No retyping, no reference errors, and the money arrives in seconds.

What you can do

• Deposit proformas and final invoices with an IPS QR code.
• Invoices linked to the client, proposal and contract, so nothing is retyped.
• Payment tracking: paid, overdue, balance due.
• Bank statement import to record payments faster.
• SEF e-invoice (UBL) export for business clients.
• The “not in the VAT system” note when you aren't VAT-registered.

A typical flow: deposit, then balance

1. 1

   Contract signed

   An automation sends the deposit proforma with an IPS QR code.

2. 2

   Deposit paid

   Record it manually or from an imported statement; the date is confirmed.

3. 3

   Balance

   Send the final invoice, netting off the deposit received.

4. 4

   Reminder

   If the balance isn't paid by the due date, the calendar reminds you.
