This significant milestone allows the Kraków-based company to assist businesses during the pilot phase of mandatory e-invoicing planned for 2025.
PDP Certification Explained
PDP Certification or Registered Private Platform certification is a vital recognition for e-invoicing systems in France that adhere to established regulatory standards. This certification guarantees that platforms can process electronic invoices with security and efficiency, meeting the demands of French law. By achieving this certification, Comarch is positioned to support businesses through both the upcoming pilot and the full implementation phases scheduled for 2026 and 2027.

The E-invoicing Landscape in France
In France, the transition to e-invoicing is an integral part of the national digital transformation strategy. The journey began in 2020 when large companies and public sector suppliers were mandated to submit and receive invoices electronically via the centralized platform known as Chorus Pro.
Expanding the E-invoicing Mandate
This mandate will expand to include not only large and medium-sized businesses by 2026 but ultimately all enterprises, regardless of their size, by 2027. This evolving requirement aims to increase efficiency, decrease administrative costs, and enhance accuracy in financial transactions. Compliance involves adhering to strict technical and legal guidelines, including the use of structured data formats and specific submission protocols.
