## Invopop coverage

Formats, networks and systems Invopop supports in this country.

### CFDI

Mexico's mandatory digital tax voucher validated by the SAT. Invopop generates CFDI 4.0, stamps it through its certified PAC partner SW Sapien, and returns the signed XML and a PDF carrying the QR code and sello digital.

- **Luna Soft PAC** — Stamping and submission run through Luna Soft, Invopop's certified PAC.
- **CFDI v4 generation** — Validations and transformations are handled by the mx-cfdi-v4 addon.
- **Compliant PDF** — PDF with QR code and digital stamp (sello digital) per SAT requirements.
- **CSD onboarding** — Upload the CSD certificate and key for each issuing supplier via a secure link or webform.
- **CFDI import** — Convert inbound CFDI XML to GOBL for accounts payable workflows.
