French e-invoicing reform

Your Shopify invoices go electronic, automatically

From September 1, 2027, your invoices to French businesses must be electronic and your other sales reported to the tax administration. Nette Factures helps you meet the reform: it issues the invoice for every order, sends it through an accredited platform and files your e‑reporting, from your Shopify admin.

  • Free plan up to 25 orders a month
  • Every feature in every plan
  • Connected to Super PDP, a platform accredited by the French tax authority
  • Hosted in France
Example invoice issued by Nette Factures, in French: invoice F2026-000043 from Atelier Lumen to Maison Verdier SAS, with the customer's SIREN number, the type of transaction and €6,600.12 due by 10/30/2026.

The reform

What changes on September 1, 2027

The reform covers every business established in France and subject to VAT, micro-businesses included. For a Shopify store, it changes how invoices are issued and how sales are reported.

  1. In force

    Every business must be able to receive electronic invoices. Large and mid-sized companies already issue them.

  2. SMEs and micro-businesses

    SMEs and micro-businesses in turn issue their B2B invoices electronically and file their e‑reporting.

Today:

A decree may still postpone the 2027 deadline, to December 1, 2027 at the latest.
  • Electronic invoices

    Invoices to French businesses must be issued in a structured format: Factur-X, UBL or CII. A regular PDF is no longer enough, and new mandatory details appear, such as the customer's SIREN number.

  • An accredited platform

    Invoices are no longer sent by email: they go through an accredited platform chosen by each business, which delivers them to the customer and sends the data to the tax administration.

  • E‑reporting

    Sales to consumers and to customers established abroad don't get an e-invoice: their data is reported to the tax administration, at a pace set by your VAT regime.

  • Fines

    €50 per invoice not issued electronically and €500 per missing e‑reporting, each of these two fines capped at €15,000 a year.

Setup

Ready in three steps

  1. Install the app

    From the Shopify App Store. Enter your business's legal identity: legal name, SIREN, VAT number, address and VAT regime.

  2. Connect your accredited platform

    In a few clicks, create your Super PDP account and authorize Nette Factures to send in your name. The platform then verifies your business.

  3. The rest runs automatically

    Every paid order gets its invoice, every refund its credit note. B2B invoices are sent and e‑reporting is filed at each deadline.

Features

Every step of the reform, from your Shopify admin

From the invoice to the archive, Nette Factures handles each step for every order. Every feature is included in every plan.

Factur-X

A Factur-X invoice for every order

Online store, point of sale or draft order: as soon as an order is paid, or fulfilled if you prefer, its invoice is issued in the Factur-X format with every mandatory detail.

  • A PDF anyone can read, with the XML data (EN 16931 standard) embedded
  • The new mandatory details: customer SIREN, type of transaction, VAT on debits option, delivery address
  • A credit note for every refund, and a full credit note when an invoiced order is cancelled
Example Factur-X invoice to a consumer, in French: invoice F2026-000042 from Atelier Lumen to Camille Martin, four items at 20% and 5.5% VAT plus shipping, total €155.49 paid by card on 09/28/2026.

B2B e-invoicing

Invoices to businesses, sent and tracked

When the customer is a French business, its invoice goes to your accredited platform, which deposits it on the customer's platform. Every status change shows up in the app.

  • Customer SIREN checked in the e-invoicing directory
  • Lifecycle statuses: deposited, refused, paid…
  • The reason shown when an invoice is rejected or refused

E‑reporting

E‑reporting at the pace of your VAT regime

Your consumer and international sales are grouped by day and VAT rate, in euros. When each period ends, the e‑reporting is prepared and sent through your platform, before the deadline.

  • Standard regime with monthly or quarterly returns, simplified regime, VAT franchise
  • Upcoming deadlines shown in the app
  • A corrective filing if a document of the period changes after it was sent
First periods after September 1, 2027

VAT franchiseEvery two monthsSep–Oct 2027

Periods and deadlines computed by the app from your VAT regime.

Legal archive

Continuous numbering, a 10-year archive

Every document gets the next number of its series, with no gaps or duplicates. Once issued it can't be changed: it is sealed with a fingerprint and kept for 10 years in write-once storage, even if you uninstall the app.

  • One series per year for invoices, another for credit notes
  • Download as Factur-X PDF and XML, checked against its fingerprint
  • Every access to a document is logged

Write-once storage · kept 10 years

Also included

  • A draft when something is missing

    A business customer without a SIREN, an incomplete address: the invoice waits as a draft with the list of what to complete, and gets its number once complete.

  • Numbers checked

    SIREN numbers are checked by their check digit and in the directory, EU VAT numbers with the European Commission's VIES service.

  • Other currencies

    An order in dollars or pounds: VAT amounts are shown in euros, at the ECB reference rate.

  • Nightly reconciliation

    Every night, the app compares your Shopify orders with your invoices and catches up any order an incident may have missed.

  • English and French

    The app follows your Shopify admin language. Invoices to French customers are in French, invoices to customers abroad in your admin's language.

  • For your accountant

    Every document downloads as a Factur-X PDF and as XML, the standard formats of the reform, which your accountant can read or import.

Trust

A compatible solution, connected to an accredited platform

Nette Factures is not an accredited platform: it is a compatible solution. It prepares your documents and sends them in your name to Super PDP, an accredited platform that delivers them to your customers and to the tax administration.

  • Super PDP, registered by the DGFiP

    Accredited platform operated by SUPER G, registered on December 22, 2025. You open your account from the app and can disconnect the platform at any time.

  • Hosted in France

    Servers, database and archive at OVHcloud, in France. Database on an encrypted disk, encrypted backups kept 14 days, encrypted connections.

  • Only what an invoice needs

    We only read what an invoice requires: the buyer's name or company, address, SIREN and VAT number. Never phone numbers; email only for business customers.

  • Documents that can't be altered

    Once issued, an invoice can no longer be changed or deleted: its files are kept for 10 years in write-once storage, and every access is logged.

Questions

Another question? Write to us, we answer in English and French. support@usenette.com

Who is concerned, and from when?

Every business established in France and subject to VAT. Since September 1, 2026, all of them must be able to receive electronic invoices, and large and mid-sized companies issue them. From September 1, 2027, SMEs and micro-businesses must in turn issue their invoices to French businesses electronically and report the data of their other sales (e‑reporting). A decree may still postpone this date to December 1, 2027 at the latest.

Do I need an accredited platform?

Yes. E-invoices and e‑reporting must go through a platform accredited by the French tax administration, chosen by each business. Nette Factures is a compatible solution: it connects to Super PDP, an accredited platform registered by the DGFiP, and sends your documents to it in your name. You create your Super PDP account from the app; the platform then verifies your business, which can take a few days.

What about my sales to consumers?

They don't get an e-invoice sent through a platform: their totals (amounts before tax and VAT, per day and per rate) are reported through e‑reporting, at the pace of your VAT regime. Nette Factures still issues a Factur-X invoice for every order, which you can give to your customer, then prepares and files the e‑reporting at each deadline. Sales to customers established abroad also go through e‑reporting.

I'm a micro-entrepreneur under the VAT franchise: am I concerned?

Yes. The VAT franchise exempts you from charging VAT, not from the reform: you must be able to receive e-invoices since September 1, 2026 and, from September 1, 2027, issue your invoices to businesses electronically and report your other sales every two months. Nette Factures supports this regime: your invoices carry the mention "TVA non applicable, art. 293 B du CGI" and e‑reporting follows the two-month pace.

What happens to my invoices if I uninstall the app?

Issued invoices, credit notes and e-reports stay in our legal archive for 10 years, as French law requires, and cannot be changed. Before uninstalling, you can download every document as a Factur-X PDF and as XML. If you reinstall the app, your archive and numbering are back where they were. Otherwise you can ask us for an export throughout the retention period, with proof that you represent the business. Drafts and data only used to issue new documents are deleted 48 hours after you uninstall.

Does it work with my accountant?

Yes. Every invoice and credit note downloads as a Factur-X PDF, readable by anyone and carrying the structured data, and as CII XML (EN 16931 standard). These are the formats of the reform: your accountant can read them or import them into their software.

Is Nette Factures an accredited platform?

No. It is a compatible solution: it prepares your invoices, credit notes and e‑reporting from your Shopify orders, then sends them to your accredited platform, which delivers them to your customers and the tax administration. Nette Factures does not give tax advice: your VAT choices and returns remain yours, with your accountant.

What if I go over my plan?

Nothing stops: your invoices keep being issued, because issuing them is a legal obligation. The app suggests the plan that fits your volume, and the choice is yours.
