What changes, and when
The reform covers invoices between VAT-registered businesses established in France. It starts with receiving and extends to sending.
From 1 September 2027
Small businesses send them too
Small and medium-sized businesses and micro-businesses start sending e-invoices to their business customers in France.
One plateforme agréée for both
Every business chooses a plateforme agréée to send and receive its invoices. With Vivid, that is A-Cube, and the connection is part of your account.

Connect your company once. Then send, follow and receive e-invoices from the same account.
Connect your company
With your SIREN, A-Cube lists your company in the Annuaire, the national directory of e-invoicing addresses. Your legal representative confirms their identity once.Send e-invoices
Create an invoice as usual and send it as an e-invoice. It reaches your customer through their own plateforme agréée.Follow every status
See when an invoice is received, approved or paid. If your customer refuses it or puts it on hold, the reason appears on the invoice.Receive supplier invoices
E-invoices from your suppliers arrive in your Bill Inbox, with the payment details already filled in.
Every status, as it happens
Each e-invoice shows where it stands in the network, from submitted to paid. When an invoice for services is marked as paid, Vivid reports the payment to the network for you.
- The full status history on every invoice
- The reason when a customer refuses an invoice or puts it on hold
- Corrections through a credit note, sent the same way
Supplier e-invoices arrive on their own
Invoices your suppliers send through the network land in your Bill Inbox, ready to review.
- Payment details filled in from the e-invoice
- Payment from your Vivid Business account in a few clicks
- A refusal with a reason that goes back to the supplier
Checked before it goes out
A French e-invoice carries more details than a PDF. Vivid adds them and checks the invoice before it leaves.
- Your customer’s SIREN and whether you bill goods or services
- All French VAT rates, with the exemption reason at 0%
- An invoice number the network has not seen before

Got more questions?
Which businesses are concerned, and from when?
The reform covers VAT-registered businesses established in France and the invoices they exchange with each other. Since 1 September 2026, all of them must be able to receive e-invoices. Large and mid-sized companies send them from the same date, small and medium-sized businesses and micro-businesses from 1 September 2027.What is a plateforme agréée?
A platform registered by the French tax authority (DGFiP) to exchange e-invoices between businesses and pass invoice data to the administration. Every business uses one to receive its invoices. With Vivid, your plateforme agréée is A-Cube.Do I need another platform if I use Vivid?
No. When you connect e-invoicing in your account, A-Cube lists your company in the Annuaire and handles the exchange. You send, follow and receive your e-invoices in Vivid.What does e-invoicing cost?
E-invoicing is included in every plan at no extra fee.Can I keep sending PDF invoices?
Small and medium-sized businesses can send PDF invoices to their business customers in France until 1 September 2027. With Vivid, you can switch to e-invoices before that date.How do I correct an e-invoice I have sent?
Once sent, an e-invoice stays as it is. To correct it, cancel it in Vivid and send the cancellation as an e-invoice: it reaches your customer as a credit note for the original invoice. Then issue a corrected invoice.Where do e-invoices from my suppliers arrive?
In the Bill Inbox of your Vivid Business account, with the payment details filled in. Pay them from there, or refuse one with a reason that goes back to the supplier.
