Global E-Invoicing

What Is PEPPOL and Why Does It Matter?

PEPPOL (Pan-European Public Procurement Online) is a secure, standardized e-invoicing network used across Europe to exchange electronic business documents, including invoices.

Instead of sending PDFs by email, PEPPOL enables invoices to be transmitted machine-to-machine, ensuring accuracy, traceability, and legal compliance.

PEPPOL involves three key elements:

  • Access Points function as a digital post office, ensuring electronic invoices are routed securely and delivered to the correct recipient 

  • SMP (Service Metadata Publishers), which identify where invoices should be delivered

  • Standardized formats, ensuring invoices are readable by tax authorities and accounting systems

PEPPOL IN BELGIUM?

What Shopify Merchants Need to Know

As one of the most advanced PEPPOL adopters in Europe, Belgium is setting the pace for similar regulations across the EU, making PEPPOL the standard for business invoicing.

As of January 1, 2026, all VAT-registered businesses in Belgium are required to send and receive B2B invoices via the PEPPOL network. This obligation applies to all companies, from large enterprises to small businesses and self-employed professionals.
Failing to issue a compliant e-invoice may be treated as if no invoice was issued at all, potentially leading to administrative penalties, delayed payments, and disputes with customers who require legally compliant documentation.
 
For Shopify merchants selling B2B or working with Belgian companies and public institutions, PEPPOL compliance is no longer a “nice to have”. It directly affects:
  • Your ability to invoice certain customers
  • Payment speed and dispute reduction
  • VAT compliance and audit readiness

Where Can I Register on PEPPOL?

Step 1: Choose an Access Point Provider

It’s not possible to register on the Peppol network directly. To join the Pxeppol network, you must create a Peppol ID first.

Step 2: Contact the Chosen Access Point Provider

Get in touch with your chosen Access Point Provider to guide you through the registration process.

Step 3: Set up your Peppol access point connection

At this juncture, you choose the type of connection between your bookkeeping software and the Access Point.

 

Step 4: Test the connection and start exchanging documents

If you want to switch PEPPOL provider, it is relatively easy, but could be tedious as you will need to unregister from the place you registered to register elsewhere.

Is Peppol Free to Use?

PEPPOL itself does not charge businesses to use its standards or technical specifications. However, businesses cannot connect directly to the PEPPOL network for free.

Access is always provided through certified Access Point providers, who manage the technical connection and ensure invoices are exchanged securely and in compliance with PEPPOL requirements.

These costs can vary depending on the Access Point you choose and the services you need, such as invoice delivery, validation, or additional support.

What if my client is not registered on PEPPOL?

You can only send invoices via PEPPOL to clients who are already registered on the PEPPOL network. 

These are some common reasons why a customer may not yet be available on PEPPOL:

  • The client is not a Belgian company

    In some countries, e-invoicing is already mandatory (via PEPPOL or other systems), while in others it is not yet required. Each EU country can decide if and when to introduce mandatory B2B e-invoicing, up until 2030.

  • The client is not subject to VAT

    Certain professions are not liable for VAT and are therefore not required to use PEPPOL.
