Hello Dominique,

Integrating a Belgian eID reader with Odoo Community v11 for customer creation is achievable, though it requires custom development.

  First, you'll need to develop a custom Odoo module. This module will handle the communication with the eID reader.

  Next, use a Python library that supports reading data from Belgian eID cards. The 'eidlib' library is commonly used for this purpose.

  Then, create a form in your Odoo module that, when triggered (e.g., by clicking a button), reads the eID data and populates the customer fields (name, address, etc.).

  Finally, ensure your module properly handles error cases, such as when the eID card is not present or cannot be read.

Hi Jérôme,

We are currently exploring whether Odoo could be a suitable solution for our operations in the recycling sector. As part of our compliance, we are required to read eID cards in order to process payments.

We would like to know if Odoo Online supports integration with eID readers for this purpose, or if you has experience with a similar setup. Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

Hello,

I just released a module in v16 to create a res.partner from a Belgian identity card here  https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/16.0/be_id_reader

Feel free to let me know  if it suits yours needs.

Kinds regards,

Jérôme Dewandre
