Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to connect to Peppol?
With a hosted Service Provider, minutes — register, verify your company, and your Peppol ID is live. ERP integrations take longer depending on the connector.
Is Peppol mandatory for my company?
That depends on your country and who you invoice. Check your country page or the mandate tracker — each page states current scope and the next deadline.
What does Peppol cost?
There is no network fee for end users. Service Providers charge their own pricing; Verteco publishes a public price list where receiving is free forever.
Is Peppol secure?
Yes. Documents travel encrypted between certified Access Points using signed AS4 messages and the Peppol PKI. No document is ever publicly accessible.
Can I receive Peppol invoices without any software?
Yes — a web portal or an e-mail gateway is enough. Documents can be delivered as PDF plus XML to your inbox.
