Compliance
E-invoicing, done right — in your country.
An e-invoice carries the invoice as structured data your customer’s software reads — not just a picture of it. UNENO Invoice issues it in the format your country asks for, to the European standard EN 16931, and checks it before it goes out.
- The right format for your country — picked automatically
- EN 16931, checked before the invoice is issued
- Included in every plan, at no extra cost
The basics
What makes an invoice electronic.
Structured data
The invoice as data — seller, buyer, lines, VAT — that accounting software reads without anyone typing it. A plain PDF is not an e-invoice.
One European standard
EN 16931 sets what an e-invoice contains. Every country builds on it — with its own formats, channels and dates.
Two kinds of file
A PDF with the data embedded (ZUGFeRD, Factur-X), readable by people and software — or pure XML (XRechnung), for systems.
By country
Your country, your rules.
Dates, formats and channels differ from country to country — each one has its own page.

In every country
What Invoice does wherever you are.
The format, picked for you
From the customer, when the invoice is issued — you never choose a format, and customers outside the rules keep getting a plain PDF.
Checked before it’s issued
Against the format’s rules: anything missing is listed, nothing goes out, no number is used.
Fixed at issue
The Format column shows every invoice’s format — switching e-invoicing off later changes none of them.
Cancellations too
Cancelling an e-invoice? The cancellation is an e-invoice as well — a credit note that references the original.
Free tools
Check or read any e-invoice — free.
Two tools that run in your browser — nothing is uploaded, no account needed.
What is an e-invoice?
An invoice in a structured format — seller, buyer, lines and VAT as data — that the recipient’s software can read and process without typing. The European standard EN 16931 sets what it contains; each country adds its formats and rules.
Is a PDF invoice an e-invoice?
A plain PDF is not — it is only a picture of the invoice. ZUGFeRD and Factur-X are PDFs with the invoice data embedded as XML, so they count; XRechnung is pure XML.
Which format do I need?
It depends on your country and your customer: in Germany ZUGFeRD for business customers and XRechnung for public authorities, in France Factur-X for business customers. Invoice picks it from the customer when the invoice is issued — you never choose.
In which countries does UNENO Invoice issue e-invoices?
In Germany and France for now — each with its own page — and more countries are on the way. Customers outside these rules keep getting a plain PDF invoice.
Does e-invoicing cost extra?
No. E-invoicing is included in every plan of Invoice — no add-on, no surcharge.
Can I check an e-invoice I received?
Yes — with our free e-invoice checker, in your browser: it validates an XRechnung or ZUGFeRD file against the official rules, and nothing is uploaded.
