Germany is gradually implementing e-invoicing between German companies. This means all enterprises need to have made the switch to electronic invoicing by January 2028.
However, there is transition period for sending invoices via email until 31 December 2026. This means that, if your customer is not using Peppol right now, you can send their invoices in another format such as the widely accepted ZUGFeRD.
You can send invoices to all your German customers directly from Billit, whether they are connected to Peppol or use ZUGFeRD. You can choose the preferred sending method per customer. Follow these steps to set this up:
When you want to send your invoice, you will receive a pop-up with the possible sending methods. Choose 'Email' for this customer.
Because your customer is not connected to Peppol the button won't be green. When they are connected, the button will turn green and you can choose Peppol (Xrechnung) as a sending method.
