Peppol invoices

KelCommerce generates the e-invoice of your business orders in the Peppol format. Sending it on the Peppol network is done with the tool of your choice.

In Belgium, structured e-invoicing between businesses has been mandatory since 1 January 2026.

What KelCommerce does

  • For every paid order of a business customer (with a VAT number), it generates an XML file in the Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 format (UBL).
  • Download the file from the order page (Pro and Business plans) or through the API (GET /orders/{id}/peppol.xml, Business plan).
  • The invoice number is assigned the first time the file is generated: one series per shop and year, without gaps (2026-00001, 2026-00002…).
  • It carries your VAT rates, discount codes, shipping costs and exempt intra-Community supplies.
  • Both parties’ Peppol identifier is derived from the VAT number (in Belgium: the enterprise number, scheme 0208).

What KelCommerce does not do

  • No sending on the Peppol network. KelCommerce is not a Peppol access point: you send the file with your invoicing tool.
  • No receiving of invoices. Your suppliers’ invoices arrive in your own Peppol tool.
  • No credit notes yet. For a refunded order, issue the credit note in your invoicing tool.

Sending the invoice

  1. Choose an invoicing tool or Peppol access point that can import a UBL file.
  2. In KelCommerce, open the order and click “Generate the Peppol file (XML)”.
  3. Import the file into your tool: it sends it to your customer on the Peppol network.

Tools that import a UBL file

A few tools whose documentation covers importing an existing UBL file (checked in November 2026). KelCommerce has no partnership with any of them; prices and terms on their websites.
