French Invoicing API

warning

These APIs are currently in Beta. Please note that some features are not yet available as they are under active development.

Welcome to the official A-Cube documentation dedicated to the French market.

As an accredited platform (Plateforme Agréée), A-Cube stands as the ideal intermediary to guide your business and your customers through the complexities of the digital transition in France. We have designed this suite of APIs to offer you native, end-to-end coverage, capable of seamlessly and automatically managing every single stage of the invoice lifecycle and all compliance requirements related to E-Reporting.

Integrating with our services will allow you to govern the entire process through four fundamental macro-stages:

  • Company Creation: The initial registration and configuration of Legal Entities within the A-Cube context.
  • KYC and Claim on the Annuaire: The guided KYB/KYC verification workflow for customer identification and the subsequent official association of A-Cube as the authorized intermediary in the French Central Directory (Annuaire central).
  • Invoice Issuance and Reception: The complete management of outbound and inbound invoicing, both for the French domestic market (supporting CII, UBL, and Factur-X formats) and for international transactions.
  • E-Reporting: The electronic transmission of sales and payment data for all operations excluded from the standard B2B electronic invoicing mandate.
