Why is it important?
France's government, like other European governments, has implemented a quickly approaching deadline that requires businesses to use a PDP when sending their invoices.
French businesses are required to send their invoices through a PDP as of: 1 September 2026

What is PDP?
Partner Dematerialisation Platforms (PDP) is an independent service provider, approved and recognised by the government. With this certification, service providers are allowed to issue and receive e-invoices directly through the service provider of the counterparty.
Am I required to use PDP?
France has officially adopted mandatory e-invoicing, with implementation set for September 2026. This legislation aligns with the EU's broader push for digitalization, specifically the VAT in the Digital Age (ViDa) proposal, which mandates e-invoicing and e-reporting for cross-border transactions. Other countries have passed similar legislation. More information -->
How much does PDP cost?
Odoo is a free PDP. For other PDPs, the cost varies; many use a credit system or charge per document sent or received. With some businesses sending thousands of documents each year, the costs can add up quickly.
