Peppol E-invoicing

Learn how Peppol e-invoicing helps your organization automate B2B invoicing and comply with rapidly evolving European e-invoicing regulations. Discover what Peppol is, how it works, and why it is becoming the standard for digital invoice exchange across Europe.

Peppol E-invoicing

More and more organizations are adopting Peppol e-invoicing to streamline their financial processes and comply with evolving European regulations. What started as a solution primarily for government invoicing has quickly become the standard for digital invoicing in Business-to-Business (B2B) transactions.

In Belgium, Peppol e-invoicing has become mandatory for all VAT-registered companies since January 1, 2026. In the Netherlands and across Europe, governments are actively encouraging companies to adopt standardized electronic invoicing networks such as Peppol.

With a Peppol integration via T2S, your invoices are send securely, accurately, and fully automatically while remaining compliant with national and European invoicing regulations.

What is Peppol?

Peppol (Pan-European Public Procurement On-Line) is an international network that enables the secure exchange of electronic business documents between organizations.

It is widely used for:

  • Electronic invoices (Peppol e-invoicing)
  • Credit notes

The Peppol network can also support:

  • Purchase orders
  • Order confirmations
  • Other structured business documents

Because Peppol operates according to standardized technical and legal frameworks, all connected organizations can exchange documents reliably and automatically.

Documents sent through the Peppol network are:

  • Delivered correctly
  • Automatically processed by receiving systems
  • Exchanged in a legally compliant way

The Peppol ecosystem is built on:

  • Certified Peppol Access Points
  • Standardized formats such as UBL
  • A unique Peppol ID for each organization

This standardized infrastructure makes Peppol one of the most reliable and scalable solutions for digital invoicing in Europe.

Peppol and country-specific requirements

Prepare your organization for mandatory e-invoicing and automate B2B invoicing with a secure Peppol integration.

E-invoicing legislation is evolving rapidly across Europe, and Peppol is increasingly becoming the preferred infrastructure for digital invoice exchange.

Belgium‍

‍Belgium is leading the adoption of Peppol for B2B invoicing. Starting January 1, 2026, Peppol e-invoicing has become mandatory for B2B transactions between VAT-registered companies. This means businesses must be able to send and receive structured electronic invoices through the Peppol network. Peppol is therefore no longer limited to government procurement. Peppol is becoming the standard for business-to-business invoicing. If your company works with Belgianpartners, implementing Peppol integration is essential.

The Netherlands

In the Netherlands, Peppol is already mandatory for invoicing the central government. The Dutch government is also strongly encouraging companies to adopt Peppol for B2B invoicing.

Although a nation wide B2B obligation has not yet been implemented, many organizations are already adopting Peppol e-invoicing solutions to prepare for future requirements.

‍Europe

Across the European Union, initiatives such as VAT digitalization and e-invoicing mandates are accelerating. Companies operating internationally should ensure their invoicing infrastructure is future-proof and compliant with emerging regulations. Implementing a Peppol solution allows organizations to scale their invoicing processes across multiple countries.
