E-invoicing in France
By September 2027, every company in France has to send its invoices electronically, through an approved platform. BenneCRM does it from the invoices you already make: compliant, sent in one click, with each payment your customer makes reported for you.
Every invoice carries what the law asks for
With e-invoicing switched on, each invoice gets its number automatically, the SIREN and VAT numbers of both companies, a due date, the dates of the service and the legal mentions, in French whatever language you use the app in. The file is a Factur-X: a PDF your customer reads like any other, with the invoice data inside for the platforms.
- Numbering carries on from your previous software, with no gaps
- A wrong invoice is cancelled with a credit note, never deleted
- An invoice without VAT states the reason, such as reverse charge in construction

Sent through an approved platform in one click
You connect your company’s account on an approved platform once, in Settings. Each invoice then has a Send button, and it reaches your customer on their own platform, whichever one they use.
- No file to download and upload somewhere else
- For a private customer, the sale is reported to the tax authority instead
- A rejected invoice shows the platform’s reason on its page

Statuses update on their own, payments are reported for you
Every five minutes, BenneCRM checks where each invoice stands: received, approved, refused. Each payment you record is reported to the platform as received (“encaissée”), with its amount. French law requires this for services, and skip hire is one.
- Each payment is reported with the day you received it
- Once reported, a payment can no longer be deleted
- If your customer refuses an invoice, its page says so and what to do next

What the reform asks, and when
Invoices between companies in France move to approved platforms. Two dates decide when it applies to you.
1 September 2026
Every company must be able to receive e-invoices. Large and mid-sized companies must also send them.
1 September 2027
Small companies and micro-enterprises must send them too, and report the payments they receive for services.
