Webito generates invoices and credit notes as structured electronic documents following EN 16931, the European standard for the semantic data model of an electronic invoice, expressed as Peppol BIS Billing 3.0. That is the format the EU's VAT in the Digital Age (ViDA) package, adopted in March 2025, makes the default for intra-EU B2B invoicing from 1 July 2030, and it is the basis of the national mandates already in force in several member states. Buyer electronic addresses are stored on company records, so each document carries the identifiers needed to route it.
Invoices and credit notes generated to the EN 16931 semantic data model
Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 output with buyer and seller electronic addresses
Seller e-invoicing identity configured once per store, per legal entity
Buyer electronic addresses stored on company records for B2B routing
Per-order generation status, with visible failures and retry
The distinction that matters legally is machine-processability. An invoice emailed as a PDF still needs a human or an OCR pass to become data, which is precisely what the European framework is moving away from. An electronic invoice under EN 16931 is a structured document with defined semantics: the same fields, meaning the same things, whichever country reads it: and unstructured formats will not satisfy the intra-EU B2B requirement when it lands.
EN 16931 defines what an invoice must contain and what each element means. Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 is a specification of that standard used for exchange over the Peppol network, where each party is identified by an electronic address. Webito produces documents to that specification and keeps the buyer's electronic address on their company record, so the document is addressable rather than merely well-formed.
ViDA sets 1 July 2030 for mandatory structured e-invoicing on cross-border intra-EU B2B transactions, with member states running domestic real-time reporting required to align with the EU model by 2035. Several countries are ahead of that schedule with national platforms and formats already live. If you sell to businesses in the EU, your buyers are being pulled onto structured invoicing regardless of your own timetable: and a supplier who can already send one is easier to onboard.
Real invoicing involves getting it wrong occasionally. Webito raises credit notes as structured documents linked to the original invoice, so a correction is traceable rather than a second document that happens to have a negative total. Generation status is visible per order, and failures surface with a reason and a retry rather than disappearing.
This page explains how the platform behaves. It is not tax advice: your registrations, filings and thresholds remain your responsibility, and your accountant should confirm your specific position.
Your store, live and selling in minutes
Add your products, configure your catalog, and launch a sophisticated storefront. Webito bypasses the fragmented plugin ecosystem by delivering a completely cohesive commerce infrastructure—combining advanced inventory tracking, tax-compliant checkout pipelines, and deeply integrated regional shipping configurations—all operational from day one.
Every order, every payment method, one pipeline
Track the entire lifecycle of a transaction from the initial customer checkout through to final fulfillment and invoicing. Webito provides a singular, authoritative pipeline that governs payment capture, warehouse dispatch, electronic invoicing, and structured refund processing without data fragmentation.
A store that looks like your brand, not a template
Control your brand's aesthetic presentation through a cohesive design-token architecture rather than relying on unstructured, fragile drag-and-drop mechanics. By configuring core visual parameters centrally, you ensure rigorous design consistency across every single page.
Accept every payment method your customers expect
Process transactions through a unified checkout pipeline that natively accommodates both immediate B2C card payments and complex B2B deferred invoicing. Gateway integrations operate as deeply embedded plugins, ensuring absolute tax and accounting consistency.
Built to rank | SEO built into every page
Attain maximum organic search visibility natively, circumventing the need for unstable third-party SEO plugins. Every storefront URL is strictly server-rendered, injecting precise metadata and Schema.org structured data directly into the initial HTML response.
EU VAT compliance, decided inside the order
Destination rates, tax categories, reverse charge and VAT number validation | resolved when the order is placed, not reconciled afterwards.
Know exactly where you stand against the €10,000 threshold
A running total of your cross-border consumer sales, broken down by destination, so the OSS threshold never arrives as a surprise.
Wholesale buyers and retail shoppers, one catalogue
Company accounts, negotiated pricing, quote requests and net terms | without maintaining a second store or a parallel product list.
Sell across Europe without a currency surprise at checkout
Deliberate prices per currency, destination-aware tax and shipping, and the local payment methods European buyers expect.
Headless architecture, without the headless project
A fast storefront you can restyle visually today, and an API to replace it with your own front end the day that becomes worth doing.
EN 16931 is the European standard that defines the semantic data model of an electronic invoice: which elements an invoice contains and what each one means. It came out of Directive 2014/55/EU on e-invoicing in public procurement, and it is the reference format the EU's ViDA package builds on for intra-EU B2B invoicing.
For cross-border intra-EU B2B transactions, 1 July 2030 under the ViDA package adopted in March 2025, with structured invoices conforming to the European standard and unstructured formats such as plain PDFs no longer sufficient. Member states with domestic real-time reporting systems must align them with the EU model by 1 January 2035. Several countries already run national mandates ahead of these dates, so your obligations may start earlier depending on where you and your buyers are established.
To transmit over the Peppol network you exchange through a certified access point, and your buyers identify themselves by an electronic address. Webito produces the compliant document and holds the addressing data on your buyers' company records; how it reaches them depends on the channel you and your buyer agree on.
Yes. Consumers and buyers outside the structured-invoicing world still receive a readable document. The point of the structured output is that the machine-readable version exists and is authoritative, rather than being reconstructed from a PDF at the other end.
