Peppol e-invoicing from day one.

UBL 2.1 / Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 XML on every sent invoice. The same standard the Dutch government, B2G buyers across the EU, and increasingly B2B accountants expect.

What is Peppol?

Peppol (Pan-European Public Procurement OnLine) is the European interoperability framework for e-invoices. Member states agreed on a single shared XML format — Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 — so an invoice issued in Amsterdam can be received and processed automatically in Madrid, Helsinki, or Vilnius. The Netherlands has required Peppol for B2G invoicing since 2017; B2B adoption is now growing rapidly.

Behind the spec is UBL — Universal Business Language. UBL is the XML schema; Peppol BIS is the business rules layered on top.

What you get with us

Every sent invoice carries the XML file as an attachment. The buyer's accountant downloads it and imports it directly into their bookkeeping — no re-typing, no OCR, no PDF parsing.

Tax categories — standard rate, reduced, zero-rated, exempt, reverse-charge — are emitted as the correct UBL `ClassifiedTaxCategory` codes (S / Z / E / AE) with the required exemption reasons. Intra-EU sales, exports outside the EU, and domestic reverse-charge are all first-class.

Generation versus delivery

Today we generate the XML and email it directly to your buyer. We do not yet submit it to a Peppol Access Point on your behalf — that's a separate integration (Storecove, Peppolapi.nl, etc.) we'll add when buyers ask for it.

In practice for freelancers + small teams, attaching the XML to the email is what 95% of accountants want. If your buyer specifically needs Peppol Access Point delivery, you can forward the XML to your own Access Point provider.

Buyer's Peppol endpoint

If a buyer's company carries a Peppol endpoint ID on its invoicing profile (PartyTaxScheme / EndpointID), we include it in the XML so a future Access Point integration can route automatically. For now that field is just metadata; it'll light up the day delivery ships.

No add-on tier for Peppol

Some invoicing tools charge extra for the e-invoicing module. We don't — UBL/Peppol comes with every €0.20 send. See pricing.
