Heard about e-invoicing with PEPPOL but have no idea what it is or how to start? Don’t worry. We’ll break it down for you.

By the end of this post, you’ll be ready to send your very first e-invoice via PEPPOL today, hassle-free.

Send e-invoices effortlessly with Accountable

E-invoicing isn’t as complicated as it seems. You don’t have to do anything tricky yourself. With a certified PEPPOL provider like Accountable, everything runs smoothly automatically.

Here’s how you can easily create your very first e-invoice:

Step 2: Create and send your first e-invoice

  • Create your invoice in the app, just like you normally would.
  • Accountable ensures that all legal requirements and VAT details are correct.
  • Instead of sending a PDF, simply toggle the option to send your invoice via PEPPOL. It’s completely secure and fully compliant with Belgian law.
  • Your client will receive the invoice directly in their own accounting software.

Step 3: Receiving e-invoices

Now, what about receiving e-invoices?

Simple. As long as both you and your supplier are registered on the PEPPOL network, all invoices from your suppliers will now arrive directly in the Accountable app (in the expenses screen).

Don’t worry: we’ll also send you an email notification whenever you receive an e-invoice, so you’ll always stay up to date.

E-invoicing reduces paperwork, lowers the chance of errors, and you’ll probably even get paid faster (since your invoice won’t get lost in your client’s inbox).

E-invoicing doesn’t have to be complicated

With Accountable, you can create your invoices just as easily as always.

Our system makes sure your e-invoices are sent correctly and securely via PEPPOL. You can also receive PEPPOL invoices from your clients directly in Accountable.

FAQ about PEPPOL e-invoicing

How do I register with PEPPOL?

In Accountable, go to Account > Settings > PEPPOL (e-invoicing). Click Start registration, fill in your details, and follow the authentication process (you’ll need an ID). Your full registration takes less than 2 minutes. We’ll review your application and notify you when your registration is active (usually within 1 day).

What if my accountant has already registered my business with PEPPOL?

If you try to register and get a message from us that you’re already registered, it’s possible your accountant has done this for you. Keep in mind: you can only register via one access point on the PEPPOL network.

If you want to continue using Accountable for e-invoicing, accounting, and taxes, ask your accountant to deregister you in their software, then register via Accountable.

Can I send e-invoices via PEPPOL for free?

Yes. The PEPPOL network itself is free, and to use it you need a PEPPOL Access Point (invoicing software like Accountable). You don’t need to pay for Accountable: we offer unlimited e-invoicing in our free plan.

Le suivi par mail de votre service est appréciable. J’ai été étonné de devoir communiquer mon no de compte bancaire et surtout de donner un accès consultatif à celui-ci. Mais je vous l’avais déjà évoqué en vous précisant la raison. Bien cordialement François Bellière
