Electronic invoicing in France is no longer optional, but mandatory.<\/strong> The law regulating this process is underway, and from September 1, 2026, all companies must begin to adapt to the new system.<\/p>\n

In the French electronic invoicing system<\/a>, there are four actors: the supplier, the client, technology providers (plateformes agr\u00e9\u00e9es<\/em>, in French), and the government.<\/p>\n

As a leading provider in electronic invoicing and B2B payments in the travel sector, at Voxel, an Amadeus company we know how to support hotel chains, travel agencies, bedbanks, TMCs, and other sector players through this change. Not only to comply with regulations, but also to take advantage of all the benefits of digitalization. That\u2019s why today we want to explain in detail the role of plateformes agr\u00e9\u00e9es<\/em> in the law regulating the use of electronic invoices between companies (B2B) in France.<\/p>\n

What is a plateforme agr\u00e9\u00e9e?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

A plateforme agr\u00e9\u00e9e<\/em><\/strong><\/a> is a technology provider certified by the French administration to manage the issuance, technical validation, and transmission of electronic invoices. These platforms comply with the legal requirements established by law and ensure that invoices follow interoperability and security standards.<\/p>\n

In other words, they are the trusted intermediary between companies and the Portail Public de Facturation (PPF)<\/em><\/strong>, ensuring technical conformity and interoperability.<\/p>\n

Plateformes agr\u00e9\u00e9es<\/em> were previously called plateformes de d\u00e9mat\u00e9rialisation partenaires<\/em> or PDPs.<\/p>\n

\"plateformeWhy are plateformes agr\u00e9\u00e9es mandatory from 2026?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The requirement comes from the Loi de Finances<\/strong>, which aims to modernize French taxation, reduce fraud, and increase transparency in business operations.<\/p>\n

The French law follows similar models in other European countries, such as Italy. This law establishes that French companies can only issue, send, and receive electronic invoices<\/strong> through an authorized plateforme agr\u00e9\u00e9e<\/em><\/strong>. Direct issuance and transmission through the public portal is not allowed.<\/p>\n

Electronic invoicing is already a reality in France.<\/strong> Companies that do not adapt will be excluded from the system established by law. Therefore, it is necessary for companies to start integrating with a plateforme agr\u00e9\u00e9e<\/em> as soon as possible to ensure a smooth transition.<\/p>\n

How does a plateforme agr\u00e9\u00e9e work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The operation of a plateforme agr\u00e9\u00e9e<\/em><\/strong><\/a> can be summarized in four steps:<\/p>\n
