Peppol lets businesses exchange structured invoices in one common format, whichever software each side uses. Billy Peppol, from an authorised Peppol Access Point and SMP provider, is your connection to the network.
How it works
- You Create an invoice in the portal, upload UBL, or send it from your software over the API.
- Billy Peppol Checks it against Peppol BIS Billing 3.0, finds the recipient through the SMP and sends it over AS4.
- Their Access Point Receives the invoice and returns a signed receipt.
- Your customer Gets a data file their system can process, not a PDF to retype.
Invoices sent to you travel the same way in reverse and arrive in your inbox with their validation status. As an SMP, we also publish your company’s details so that others can find you on the network.
