What is Peppol?

The Global Standard for eInvoicing

Peppol (Pan-European Public Procurement OnLine) is an international framework that enables businesses and government organizations to exchange standardized electronic documents — such as invoices, orders, and credit notes — across borders seamlessly.

Originally developed by the European Commission, Peppol has grown into a global standard adopted by over 40 countries. It provides a secure, interoperable network where any connected sender can reach any connected receiver.
