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,
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:

We're continuing to refine the front-end and implement everything in the backend to make e-invoicing document submission seamless.

Our AI song generator (https://aisongmaker.ai) understands musical structure, harmony, and rhythm. Describe a mood, genre, or theme — and the model generates complete songs with verse-chorus structure, bridges, and natural musical progression.

We handle e-invoicing exports for creative workflows too - been using Dreamina AI (https://dreaminai.net/) for AI video generation from text/images, would be great to see similar export automation here.

Any update??? We are Q3, it was supposed to release in Q1...

Electronic invoicing (especially e-invoice standards like PEPPOL) would save a lot of manual work for EU clients. Side note — for onboarding clients on new billing flows we've been sending short walkthrough videos made with https://ravvi.ai, which cuts down support tickets. But native e-invoicing is the real ask here. +1.

Electronic invoicing would be even more useful with a preview step for the human-readable PDF, including logo scaling, contrast checks, and localized legal text. We sometimes prototype visual directions with https://www.chatgptimage.app, but invoice artwork still needs locked dimensions and accessible text so the preview matches the final signed document.

I look forward to electronic invoicing updates, much like checking out https://masonryphiladelphiapa.com/ for building ideas.

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 June 2026 and we haven't heard anything. There are less than six 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.

PS: Please control the massive amount of spam that is occurring in this thread...

Electronic invoicing would be especially useful for SaaS teams that need clear billing records around generated media, customer approvals, and regional compliance. We see similar handoff needs in AI motion-control video workflows at https://www.klingaimotioncontrol.com, where traceable project and payment metadata can reduce support work.
Trellis 3D commented 2 months ago
This would be useful for teams that need cleaner audit trails across billing, project delivery, and generated digital assets. A structured e-invoicing workflow also helps when asset production and customer approvals happen in separate tools. We track similar workflow handoffs for 3D asset generation at https://www.trellis-3d.net and having invoice metadata available consistently would make reconciliation much easier.
Uni-1 AI commented 2 months ago
Electronic invoicing is a must-have feature. We use HappyHorse AI (https://www.happy-horse.studio/) for AI-powered tools and automated billing integration would be a huge time-saver.
Pomelli commented 2 months ago
Great idea! E-invoicing automation pairs well with marketing automation. Tools like https://pomelli.page/ help generate brand campaign assets alongside billing workflows.

AetherVid AI Tools commented 2 months ago
AetherVid is a great example of how AI tools are transforming creative workflows — their platform at https://aethervid.net/ shows what modern AI video generation looks like. Adding electronic invoicing to WHMCS would be similarly impactful for SaaS products like AetherVid that operate across multiple regions with different invoicing requirements.
