Electronic invoicing is no longer an option, but an obligation that is gradually being rolled out to all French businesses. For e-tailers using PrestaShop, this development can represent a technical and administrative challenge. Fortunately, the Azopio solution simplifies the integration of electronic invoicing and the Factur-X format directly into your PrestaShop site, while automating accounting management.
Factur-X: the key format for electronic invoicing
The Factur-X format is a Franco-German standard that combines a human-readable PDF invoice with a structured XML file readable by software. This hybrid format facilitates exchanges between customers, suppliers and administrations, while guaranteeing compliance with French regulations.
With Azopio, invoices issued from PrestaShop can be automatically converted to Factur-X format, ready to be sent to your recipient via our PA-approved dematerialisation platform. The result: less manual data entry, fewer errors and enhanced traceability.

Thanks to the Azopio B2B – Electronic Invoicing for PrestaShop module, available on the Prestashop marketplace, e-merchants can automate the issuing, receiving and filing of their invoices.
