Peppol e-invoicing

The law changed.Your workflow doesn't have to.

Create the invoice. Dokus handles the structure, the network, and the delivery record behind it.

In-scope Belgian B2B invoices must be structured electronic invoices since 1 January 2026. In Dokus, that is part of the normal invoice flow.

Compliance

A new legal requirementshouldn't mean a new job.

The structured electronic invoice replaced the PDF as the legal B2B invoice for in-scope Belgian transactions. It does not have to replace the way you work: in Dokus, compliance is a property of the system, not a task on your list.

One action. Everything after it is infrastructure.

  1. You send

    The invoice you already created.

  2. Dokus structures

    Valid UBL from the financial record.

  3. Peppol delivers

    Through the certified network.

  4. The record settles

    Delivery and source remain traceable.

The invoice arrives already knowing what it is.

Sender, totals, VAT and document identity arrive as structured facts — not as a picture to interpret. Dokus checks them against the record it already keeps: what agrees settles, what doesn't stays visible.

Out

Create it once. Dokus delivers the legal invoice.

In

Receive nothing manually. The legal invoice becomes part of the record.

The format

The invoice is data now.

A PDF invoice

  • A rendered picture of the invoice.
  • Someone has to read it and retype it.
  • Re-entry is where ambiguity starts.

A Peppol invoice

  • A structured financial fact.
  • Authenticated transport between verified endpoints.
  • Machine-readable from the moment it arrives.

There is no Peppol workflow.There is only invoicing.

There is no Peppol mode to enable and nothing to switch on. The legal format is simply how invoices leave — and how they arrive.

Not an add-on

Peppol is infrastructure in Dokus, not a separate product.

Sending and receiving

Receiving is unlimited on every plan, Free included. Sending is five invoices a month on Free and unlimited on Core, where a confirmed invoice also sends itself.

Certified access point

Managed by Dokus. No separate contract. Receiving works as soon as you forward your inbox; moving your own registration across needs your current provider to release it.

Peppol transmission is operated through Recommand and its certified access-point infrastructure.

The parallel PDF

Clients not yet reachable on Peppol get the same invoice as a PDF — one send, both formats.

No per-invoice fee at any tier, and no cap on what you receive.

What is Peppol?

Peppol is a structured e-invoicing network that lets businesses exchange invoices in a machine-readable UBL format across certified access points. Since 1 January 2026, in-scope Belgian B2B invoices must be structured electronic invoices, with Peppol BIS as the standard channel. A PDF can still accompany an invoice as a human-readable copy, but it does not replace the required structured invoice for transactions within scope.

Peppol is mandatory.Thinking about it shouldn't be.

Required by law. Built into Dokus.
