How to choose your Accredited Platform?
Each Accredited Platform complies with the specifications issued by the DGFiP and is therefore capable of ensuring the compliance of the main flows covered by the reform.
But to make the right choice, everything starts with analyzing your needs and gaining a solid understanding of the reform.
Here are some tips to help you better approach this reform and choose the right solution:
1
Map your flows
Conduct a comprehensive review of all your clients and suppliers, and the different invoicing cases encountered with each of them
2
List your needs
Involve your teams, determine how to integrate the future solution with your current systems and software, and identify your use cases.

The French e-invoicing mandate in a few words
Electronic invoicing will become mandatory in 2026–2027 for the vast majority of VAT-liable companies in France, and it will apply to all domestic B2B (Business-to-Business) transactions.
Companies will therefore no longer be able to send their invoices by mail or email, and will instead have to use electronic invoicing solutions known as “Accredited Platforms.”
In addition, a large amount of data from domestic B2B invoices will also have to be transmitted automatically to the State through these Accredited Platforms, including for international B2B transactions and for B2C (Business-to-Consumer) transactions.
