The electronic invoicing reform will come into effect in France 🇫🇷 starting in 2026.
All professionals operating in B2B and subject to VAT will then need to equip themselves with compliant software, called a Partner Dematerialization Platform (PDP), enabling the receipt and sending of invoices in electronic format ( Factur-X, CII or UBL).
Once they have chosen their PDP, businesses will receive an associated electronic invoicing address, which will be registered in a directory published by the government.
Good news, Qonto is already certified by the government as a Partner Dematerialization Platform and guarantees compliance starting today.

What is a PDP and how does it work?
A Partner Dematerialization Platform (PDP) is a certified platform that securely manages the exchange of electronic invoices. Think of it as a trusted carrier for your invoices, ensuring they are transmitted securely, accurately, and in compliance with legal requirements.
Qonto acts as your certified PDP, easily managing both the receipt and transmission of your invoices. We ensure that all mandatory data is included in sent and received invoices, guaranteeing full compliance with regulations.
Activate the choice of Qonto as your PDP from your account settings to automatically receive your supplier invoices and purchase receipts in electronic format on Qonto. However, issuing customer invoices in electronic format does not require specific authorization from you.
