Your European customers increasingly prefer Peppol e-invoicing — and the UK follows in April 2029. Paylists sends and receives invoices and credit notes over Peppol from the UK today.
Peppol (Pan-European Public Procurement OnLine) is a standardised, secure network for exchanging business documents — most commonly invoices and credit notes. Instead of emailing a PDF, you send a structured invoice in the EN 16931 / Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 format that the receiver's system reads automatically.
You connect once, through Paylists, and can then reach every other business and public body on the network — across borders, with no separate setup per customer.
A Peppol invoice is machine-readable data, so it can be validated, routed and booked automatically — with far fewer errors than a PDF.
Documents travel through certified access points over an encrypted, four-corner network. Every participant has a verified identity.
A single connection reaches every other participant, public sector and private, across all member countries.
Peppol sending and receiving is available for United Kingdom businesses through Paylists, subject to KYC verification. You keep sending email and PDF to customers who are not on the Peppol network.
