See every featureDocufacture prepares your store for Europe's e-invoicing mandates. Every paid order automatically becomes a compliant invoice: Factur-X, XRechnung and ZUGFeRD, validated against EN 16931, numbered gaplessly, and emailed to your customer. Refunds create credit notes on their own. Bulk printing merges up to 1,000 invoices or packing slips into one warehouse-ready PDF.
From 2027 and 2028, invoices between businesses in Germany must be e-invoices, whether or not your customer has a VAT ID (§14(2) UStG). Faktora creates XRechnung and ZUGFeRD from every order, including gross prices, discounts and partial refunds; the format is tested with the official KOSIT validator. Refunds become credit notes, automatically if you like.
