Hello,

I am interested in implementing electronic invoicing.
It will be required in many EU countries in following years, and in Croatia it is already partly required, but next year there is plan to be fully required.

Interesting link about that

Merged Ideas
    UBL invoices
    It would be great to have UBL invoices attached to an invoice generated by WHMCS.UBL invoicing becomes more and more popular nowadays.http://ubl.xml.org/wiki/about-ubl
    E-invoices
    HiI already asked many times if it is possible to have this option as well. I was comparing WHMCS to the competitors and see that the other already has a solution for Estonian E-invoices which will be mandatory since Jan 2025.https://hostbillapp.com/features/apps/estonian_e_invoice/https://hostbill.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DOCS/pages/2870673409/Estonian+E-invoiceAs other Estonian providers i will need to look for a solution and best would be to have it from my current partner WHMCS, of course.thanks
    Electronic invoicing Spain Verifactu
    Electronic invoicing will be mandatory in Spain and the Verifactu system will be required to prevent dual-use softwareIt would be good to have some integration module withhttps://www.fiskaly.com/signes/verifactuor some other similar module that solves the problem

Hi all,
Our E-Invoicing integration is now under limited release and we are currently gathering feedback from an invite only group of clients in Belgium.

The integration exports the invoices that WHMCS publishes for your clients to a third-party e-invoicing service. That service generates an e-invoice that meets the relevant tax authority’s requirements, sends it to the client and exchanges the document with that authority. This helps you meet current and upcoming e-invoicing mandates without changing how you bill your clients in WHMCS or requiring sep

The first e-invoice format to be offered is the Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 format (UBL/XML), the standard that many EU e-invoicing mandates require, with more to come as the integration rolls out next year.

Hello,

Any updates on Verifactu? You told us it would be available by the end of 2025, then in January 2026, and finally by the end of the first quarter of 2026. It's now October 2026 and we haven't heard anything. There are less than three months left before the extension granted by the Spanish government expires, and we haven't heard anything about it.

We need an urgent solution. It's not acceptable to launch it right before the extension ends, because you'll surely have bugs that need fixing or legislative shortcomings that need addressing, and we need time to test it and for you to make the necessary corrections.

When will this legally required functionality be available? And please note, Verifactu is not the same as electronic invoicing; they are two completely different things.

Please give a update on this. We are now forced to change software in the next 60 days as this is really time pressing right now.

Perfect! We have a new regulation coming in France on this subject that requires electronic invoicing (Factur-X) and passage through approved state platforms.

As of January 1, 2024, all B2B transactions between Romanian entities must be reported via the national e-invoicing platform RO e-Factura (ANAF). Starting January 1, 2025, this requirement was extended to cover B2C transactions as well. Invoices must be generated in a specific XML format (UBL 2.1) based on the RO_CIUS technical specifications.

Hi all,
We are hard at work on the e-invoicing module, and I'm pleased to share an early preview of some new UI elements recently implemented:

- https://assets.blog.whmcs.com/einvoicing-prealpha2.png
- https://assets.blog.whmcs.com/einvoicing-prealpha3.png

We're continuing to refine the front-end and implement everything in the backend to make e-invoicing document submission seamless.
maxer commented 11th April
In your preview images, the IBAN on the client's profile is only to appear in the e-invoice data file, and nothing to do with payment collection - right?
Iustyna Adamaszek commented 27th January
Thanks for the update! Do you know if the e-invoicing module will also support Italian FatturaPA compliance?
Official Response
WHMCS commented 27th February
Hi Iustyna,
Yes FatturaPA will be supported.
PC commented 8th January
I can only say this is very dissapointing and also to late for a lot of clients because they invested already in other software. Releasing a module that should have been there already (the first warnings are 2 to 3 years old). It looks like WHMCS has no real intrest in clients outside the US.
Thomas Whiting commented 24th January
The irony , of course, is that WHMCS is not a US company

Hi all,
I have an update to share on e-invoicing. v9.0 includes enablement work for our e-invoicing solution, and we'll be releasing a module shortly after v9.0 to add the functionality for those who need it. Stay tuned for more updates throughout January!

It is regrettable that a billing system does not adapt to the legal requirements of the countries where it operates, which will be many. What a lack of respect for your customers. It's December, there are 30 days left, and we are waiting. There will be no time for testing, will you pay the fines yourselves? A software like WHMCS that is getting worse, increasingly expensive, and increasingly distant from its customers. Regrettable.
