How to add Peppol e-invoicing to your SaaS without making it your team's problem
The article discusses how SaaS companies can integrate Peppol e-invoicing without overwhelming their development teams. It outlines the requirements and challenges of implementing Peppol, emphasizing the importance of treating it as an API integration rather than building it from scratch. The article also differentiates between two types of SaaS models regarding invoice sending, highlighting the complexities involved in each.
- ▪Belgium requires structured domestic B2B e-invoicing starting January 2026, while Germany and France have similar requirements phased in over the next few years.
- ▪SaaS companies can either build their own Peppol integration or treat it as an external API to keep their development focus on core products.
- ▪The integration process involves generating UBL from invoice data, validating documents, and managing async delivery and potential failures.
