Some things get lost in translation. Make sure your invoices don’t.

"I fell with my nose in the butter" 

"Unfortunately, peanut butter!" 

If you’ve never heard these Dutch idioms before, you might be confused. Translated literally, they don’t make much sense.

In business, things often get lost in translation too. Whether it’s language, systems, or standards, miscommunication can lead to delays, confusion, and unexpected costs. Invoicing is no exception. Especially as cross-border business continues to grow, so does the need for a shared understanding.

Peppol offers one universal language for all electronic documents. From system to system, country to country, business to business – no translations needed. That's why more and more software providers are choosing Peppol.

One integration. Countless customer use cases.

Peppol is a global network that allows software systems to exchange electronic documents – such as invoices and orders – in a standardised, secure, and structured format. It’s provides the common ground that lets systems talk to each other, regardless of the software or the country.

By integrating to Peppol, you enable your customers to send and receive invoices and other business documents seamlessly across sectors, systems, and borders.

Why Peppol invoicing belongs in your product roadmap

1. Peppol is becoming the standard – and demand is growing

Peppol offers a secure and standardised way to send and receive structured invoices, purchase orders, catalogs, and electronic receipts; reliably and compliantly, also cross borders. 

Countries across Europe (including for example Belgium and Norway) have already chosen Peppol as their standard for e-invoicing. As the ViDA mandate pushes all EU countries to make e-invoicing mandatory latest in 2030, your customers will need solutions that just work. Offering Peppol e-invoicing now puts you ahead of the curve.

2. Deliver real business value to your customers

In addition to the built-in compliance, with Peppol, your users benefit from faster payments, lower costs, and fewer manual errors. And you benefit from increased product stickiness and satisfaction. Everyone wins.

3. Find your next unique selling point 

Adding Peppol invoicing capabilities lets you serve new customer segments, including public sector suppliers and export-oriented businesses. You can offer e-invoicing as a feature, bundle it with other services, or turn it into a revenue stream, with pricing models that you control.

Which Peppol Access Point model fits your needs?

Not all Access Points are created equal. You could build your own (can be a heavy lift!), connect to a limited provider with minimal support – or choose a partner like Maventa with a fully managed, developer-friendly API. The table below demonstrates the differences between a self-hosted Access Point to a limited Basic Access Point and Maventa's comprehensive one-stop-shop solution.
