E-invoicing in Germany

Prepare your business for the upcoming e-invoicing mandates for domestic B2B transactions in Germany. These mandates will be introduced in multiple phases:

  • January 1, 2025: All companies will be required to issue e-invoices unless otherwise agreed upon with the customer (a PDF is not an e-invoice).
  • January 1, 2027: Businesses with annual revenues exceeding €800,000 must issue e-invoices (compliant with the European standard EN 16931, such as ZUGFeRD, XRechnung and UBL)
  • January 1, 2028: The mandate expands to include all businesses, requiring them to issue e-invoices.

Achieve instant compliance with German e-invoicing mandates and upcoming ViDA guidelines—all through a single API connection.

Receiving mandate

How can we help?

Our receiving solution enables you to receive e-invoicing formats like ZUGFeRD and XRechnung (both UBL and CII) through Peppol, DBNAlliance, and email. 

You simply have to connect your ERP or financial system to the Storecove RESTful JSON API:

  • After registering your company on the Peppol network with your VAT number, you’ll automatically start receiving e-invoices from all your suppliers who send via Peppol.
  • ZUGFeRD invoices are received and ingested directly through the same API endpoint, allowing your ERP system to easily process this invoice type without any additional setup.
