Every major EU e‑invoice format. One account.

Most invoicing tools support one format at best. Facturwise supports every major EU e-invoice format from the same account, on every plan including free.

You select your output format in account Settings: ZUGFeRD 2.4, Factur-X 1.0.8, XRechnung 3.0, or Peppol BIS 3.0. Every invoice you generate is then produced in that format. Switch the format in Settings whenever you need a different output, for example when invoicing a German public authority that requires XRechnung. One setting, applied across your account.

Four formats, one workflow.

Each format is available from the free plan. Pick one as your active output format in account Settings.

ZUGFeRD 2.4

German B2B clients

ZUGFeRD is the standard e-invoice format for German business clients. It is a hybrid format: a normal PDF invoice with structured XML data embedded inside. Your client reads the PDF like any invoice. Their accounting system reads the XML and posts the invoice without manual entry. When ZUGFeRD is selected as your output format in Settings, every invoice you generate is a ZUGFeRD 2.4 hybrid file. EN 16931 compliant. No configuration needed beyond the format selection. Available from the free plan.

Factur-X 1.0.8

French B2B clients

Factur-X is the French national e-invoice format. It is technically identical to ZUGFeRD: a hybrid PDF/XML document where structured XML is embedded inside a PDF/A-3 file. Your French client reads the PDF, their system processes the embedded XML. When Factur-X is selected as your output format, every invoice you generate is a Factur-X 1.0.8 hybrid file. Same workflow as any other invoice. No separate tool, no separate login.

Facturwise is not a Plateforme Agréée and does not transmit invoices through the French DGFiP system. For cross-border invoices from non-French suppliers, you send the Factur-X file directly to your client by email. Your client handles any PA transmission requirements on their side.

XRechnung 3.0

German public authorities

XRechnung is Germany's mandatory e-invoice format for public sector invoicing. It is a pure XML format with no human-readable PDF, designed for direct processing by German federal, state and municipal accounting systems. When XRechnung is selected as your output format, every invoice you generate is XRechnung 3.0. Your client provides their Leitweg-ID routing number. You download the XRechnung file from Facturwise and submit it via your client's preferred channel: government portal, email, or Peppol network.

Peppol BIS 3.0

Belgium, Netherlands and beyond

Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 is the pan-European e-invoice format used across the Peppol network. Belgium has mandated Peppol BIS 3.0 for B2B e-invoicing from January 2026. The Netherlands uses Peppol extensively across both public and private sectors. Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Finland all use Peppol BIS 3.0 for public sector invoicing and increasingly for B2B. One format covers all of them. When Peppol BIS 3.0 is selected as your output format, every invoice you generate is a Peppol BIS 3.0 file. Same account, same workflow, no additional setup.

European standard

EN 16931 compliant by default.

Every invoice Facturwise generates complies with the European e-invoicing standard EN 16931. You do not need to think about compliance. You do not need to validate invoices manually. You do not need a separate compliance tool.

EN 16931 compliance is not gated behind a paid plan. It is the default on every invoice, on every plan, including free.

Not sure whether an existing invoice is EN 16931 compliant? Use the free Facturwise validator at facturwise.com/en/validate. Upload any PDF or XML invoice and get an instant compliance report. No account required.
