What is Peppol?
Peppol (Pan-European Public Procurement Online) is an international framework that enables businesses and government organizations to exchange electronic documents, primarily invoices, in a standardized way.
Think of Peppol as the "email for invoices" — just as you can send an email from Gmail to Outlook, Peppol lets you send an invoice from any Peppol-connected accounting system to any other, regardless of country or software.
How Peppol Works
Peppol uses the Four Corner Model:
1. Corner 1 (Sender): Your business and accounting software
2. Corner 2 (Access Point): Your Peppol service provider
3. Corner 3 (Access Point): Recipient's Peppol service provider
4. Corner 4 (Receiver): Recipient's business and system
Your invoice travels from your software → your Access Point → recipient's Access Point → their software.
