Follow the step-by-step plan below to send your first invoice via Peppol with Billit in no time.
You can test all Billit functions completely free for the first 15 days. After this period, you can choose a paid licence based on your usage (take a look at our pricing), or continue with the free version that only allows you to send digital invoices via Peppol. You won't be able to use functions such as the automatic payment check, reminders or even receiving Peppol invoices. These options are only available with a paid licence.
Click ‘My company’ in the menu on the left to open your company file and fill the in the mandatory fields (company number, company name, IBAN, email and telephone). This info will appear on your invoice later so make sure the information is complete and correct.
Verify the email address you used to create your login. Click the ‘Verify’ button in the email you received after registration. You can't send invoices if your login email hasn't been verified!
To start sending via Peppol you need to verify your identity once via one of the following methods:
To be able to send your invoice securely via Peppol we are, as a Peppol Access Point, required to verify your identity first.
Go to the menu 'Income', then the submenu 'Invoices' and click 'Add' OR click on 'Invoice' in the section 'Add' on the dashboard. If you want to send an invoice you've created in different software you will need to import it first via fast input.
Fill in the information that should be included in your invoice:
Select your customer's country in the field 'Invoice address' so you can fill in the correct identifier and send your Peppol invoice. If the identifier doesn't appear you can click the orange plus button next to the VAT field and choose the correct identifier.
For Belgian customers, for example, you can simply fill in your customer's company number in the 'VAT' field.
In this country list you will find extensive information per country about sending invoices to companies and government services via Peppol, and which identifiers to use. Read more about what Peppol is exactly and how the Peppol Access Point works.
Click ‘Create invoice’ to generate an invoice. This will render a pdf version of your e-invoice (If your company profile is incomplete you will get a pop-up where you can fill in the missing data).
Click ‘Send’ and the button ‘Send via Peppol’. If the ‘Send via Peppol’ button is not available, your customer is either not connected to the Peppol network or you used an incorrect identifier. In that case, please contact your customer to request the correct information.
After your invoice is created or sent, you can find it in the menu under 'Income' > 'Invoices'. In the list you will also see the sent and paid statuses of your invoice. Click an invoice to see more details. In the 'Messages' section below the invoice you will see the IMR messages and evidence files that indicate whether your invoice was correctly sent and received via the Peppol network.
