How Receiving Works

Three steps, then invoices simply arrive.

Step 1

Connect Your Company Once

A one-time identity check registers your company and its reception address in the official directory, as the reform requires.

Step 2

Suppliers Send to You

Your suppliers look you up by SIREN on their own platform and send. Their invoices arrive in your Get Factur-X inbox, whatever platform they use.

Step 3

Read, Approve or Refuse

Open the invoice, download the original file, then approve it or refuse it with a motive. Your answer travels back to your supplier through the network.

Receive Every Supplier Invoice, Compliantly

From 1 September 2026 every business established in France must be able to receive electronic invoices. Get Factur-X gives you a compliant reception address today, without an ERP.

A Compliant Reception Address

Connecting your company registers it in the official French directory, so any supplier on any Plateforme Agréée can find you and deliver invoices to you. That directory entry is what the mandate actually requires of a buyer.

Every Invoice, Original Format Kept

Factur-X hybrid PDFs and pure CII or UBL XML arrive as your supplier issued them. Download the original file whenever you need it for your accountant or your archive.

Approve or Refuse in One Click

Answer each invoice with the official lifecycle statuses the reform defines, including refusing one with a coded motive your supplier's platform understands.

Told When It Matters

An email reaches you when a new supplier invoice lands, so nothing waits unseen in a portal you forget to open.

Readable, Not Just Machine Readable

E-invoices are structured XML built for software. Open any of them in the viewer and read the whole document like a normal invoice, line by line.

No ERP, No Portal Per Supplier

One inbox for every supplier, whichever platform they send from. No enterprise system to buy, no integration project, no separate portal login for each partner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Receiving electronic invoices under the French reform, explained.

Yes, today. Connect your company once and you get a reception address registered in the official French directory. Your suppliers' e-invoices then arrive in your Get Factur-X inbox, whichever Plateforme Agréée they send from, and you can download, approve or refuse each one.
Every business established in France, whatever its size, from 1 September 2026. The obligation to receive starts on that date for everyone, including micro-enterprises and SMEs, even though their obligation to issue e-invoices only begins on 1 September 2027. Receiving is therefore the first deadline that concerns you.
Your suppliers will not be able to invoice you compliantly, because from the mandate date they must send through the network rather than by email. In practice that means blocked invoices, delayed deliveries and payment friction, so having a registered reception address before the deadline is the point of this page.
No. Receiving compliantly means being registered in the directory and being able to take delivery of structured invoices and answer with statuses. Get Factur-X does all of that from a browser for a few euros a month, with no integration project, no per-document fees and no separate portal for each supplier.
The formats of the French reform: Factur-X hybrid PDFs and pure UN/CEFACT CII or UBL XML, all carrying the EN 16931 semantic model. Each invoice is kept in the format your supplier issued and can be downloaded exactly as it was sent.
You do not have to read raw XML. Every incoming invoice can be opened in the viewer, which renders the structured data as a readable invoice with parties, lines, taxes and totals. Factur-X invoices also carry a normal PDF page inside the same file.
Yes. The reform defines a shared lifecycle for exactly that: you can approve an invoice or refuse it with a coded motive, such as a duplicate, a wrong recipient, an incorrect amount or a missing order reference. Your answer is transmitted back to your supplier's platform, so both sides always agree on the state of the invoice.
For domestic B2B invoices, no: from the mandate date they travel platform to platform rather than by email. Invoices from suppliers outside the domestic scope, for example foreign suppliers, can still reach you as a normal Factur-X file, and you can open and validate those here too.
Your invoices remain available in your Get Factur-X inbox, read live from the network's records, and the original file can be downloaded at any moment for your own archive. Legal archiving obligations for invoices are unchanged by the reform.
A Plateforme Agréée (accredited platform, formerly called a PDP) is a private platform accredited by the French tax administration to transmit domestic B2B e-invoices and report their data. Under the reform, invoices flow from the supplier's platform to the buyer's platform through this accredited network instead of by email.
