Plateforme Agréée
France's approved B2B e-invoicing platform model under the DGFiP reform. Invopop is a certified Plateforme Agréée that generates UBL, CII, and Factur-X, registers suppliers in the Annuaire, and delivers B2B invoices over the Peppol network to the buyer's PA, reporting B2C and cross-border flows to the PPF.
Approved Plateforme Agréée
Officially certified under the DGFiP mandate, with demonstrated tax compliance and interoperability with the PPF.
UBL, CII, Factur-X
All three formats are generated from one GOBL source.
Annuaire registration
Invopop publishes suppliers to the French Annuaire and the Peppol SMP.
Full lifecycle status
All 14 invoice status changes, such as accepted, paid, and rejected, flow back to the issuer.
E-reporting to the PPF
Aggregated B2C and cross-border transaction data is reported to the PPF on a schedule based on the company's tax regime.
ChorusPro
France's central B2G invoicing portal for the public sector. Invopop generates UN/CEFACT CII with the Chorus Pro V1 extensions, submits it directly to the platform, and tracks each invoice by identifier until the receiving institution accepts it.
CII generation
Produces UN/CEFACT CII based on EN 16931 with the Chorus Pro V1 extensions required for French B2G.
EN 16931 compliant
Output follows the European standard plus French SIRET and government service codes.
Supplier registration
An automated workflow generates a unique authentication link and stores OAuth credentials encrypted at rest.
Status tracking
Follow each invoice through the public administration by series and code within Chorus Pro.
Modify and resubmit
Correct and resubmit invoices until the receiving institution accepts them.
Peppol BIS 3.0
The EN 16931-aligned UBL and CII profile carried over the Peppol network. Invopop generates Peppol BIS 3.0 from a single GOBL source and delivers it to the recipient's Access Point, converting any inbound documents back to GOBL.
EN 16931 aligned
Every document is validated against the EN 16931 core standard and local Peppol BIS 3.0 CIUS rules before it reaches the network.
UBL 3.0 syntax
Generated as Peppol BIS Billing UBL accepted by every Access Point on the network.
Single GOBL source
The same input drives BIS 3.0 alongside any other downstream format you need.
Network-ready
Pairs with the Peppol app for transmission, participant lookup, and inbound receipt.
The universal visual invoice that works for any recipient. Invopop renders a branded, multilingual PDF from the same GOBL source, with every field the destination country requires, locale-correct formatting, and built-in email or webhook delivery.
Every field, every format
