Continia eDocuments
E-invoicing in France
From 1 September 2026, e-invoicing becomes mandatory in France. Continia will deliver full support for the French network before the deadline.
What's changing in France?
France is rolling out mandatory e-invoicing for all businesses subject to French VAT. The reform changes how every invoice is sent and received.
From 1 September 2026, every business subject to French VAT must be able to receive electronic invoices through a state-certified platform — a plateforme agréée (PA).
We're integrating with two certified platforms — Digital Technologies Srl and B2BRouter — starting with one to guarantee a fully ready solution by the deadline.
Digital Technologies Srl In progress
Our first integration, prioritized to ensure at least one fully ready solution by 1 September 2026.
B2BRouter In progress
A planned future addition, giving you a second certified route on the French network.
Where we are today
Support for the French network is in beta, and registration is already open in the test environment. That means you can connect to the network in a test environment and validate the entire document flow well before moving to production.
The test environment can't be used to process actual documents, and registered users will only be onboarded to the French network once we go live.
Beta versions are live
Beta versions of Document Capture and Document Output with French e-invoicing support are available now. Start testing and get your setup validated early.
Register users early
You can already register for the network in the test environment. Registering early also helps us plan for the volumes to expect at the September go-live.
Three steps to connect to the French e-invoicing network*
*Please note: The requirements for onboarding to the French network are still subject to change by the Approved Platform(s) and the network. This means that even though you have successfully completed onboarding to the demo version, you may be asked to complete further onboarding steps when the network goes live.
Submit the onboarding request
Complete the onboarding form for each customer you want to connect. Double-check the legal information — it's used to activate the participation, so accuracy is essential.
We activate the participation
After submission, our team activates the participation on the network. Track the status directly in Business Central under Continia Delivery Network Participations.
Set up and test
Once participation is enabled, complete the remaining setup and test the full document flow end to end.
