Quick Q&A
What is Peppol?
An international network for exchanging electronic invoices and other business documents in a standardized, structured format.
What does "Peppol" mean?
Peppol (Pan-European Public Procurement On-Line) is a secure network and document standard that lets buyers and sellers exchange e-invoices, orders, and dispatch advices machine-to-machine, regardless of which software each party uses. Originally built for EU public procurement, Peppol is now mandatory or strongly encouraged for B2B and B2G invoicing in countries including Belgium, France, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, Malaysia, and the Nordics. To send a Peppol invoice you need a Peppol Access Point — a certified service provider that converts your invoice into the Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 format and routes it through the network using your Peppol ID.
