How it sells itself

Docufacture 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.

France requires e-invoicing from September 2026, Belgium already mandates structured B2B invoices, Germany is phasing it in. InvoiceAnvil turns every paid order into a compliant, sequentially numbered invoice in the buyer's language: a PDF with the Factur-X / ZUGFeRD XML embedded (EN 16931), UBL for PEPPOL, credit notes on refunds, one ZIP per month for your accountant, email to the buyer.

Key points
  • Factur-X, XRechnung & ZUGFeRD e-invoices, validated against EN 16931
  • Invoices generated and emailed automatically the moment an order is paid
  • Bulk printing: one merged PDF for up to 1,000 invoices or packing slips
  • Gapless legal numbering with automatic credit notes on refunds
  • Automatic legal invoices from paid orders: sequential, gapless numbering

  • Buyer VAT numbers collected without Shopify Plus, VIES-checked, reverse charge

How Shoplist compares apps

Store counts come from Shoplist’s crawl of Shopify storefronts, which detects the apps each store runs; they are as of Oct 13, 2026. Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
