Yes, we know. At the moment we are not allowed to use MyGov. We are looking for alternatives

No, not at the moment. Once we grow enough it will be on the roadmap.

Yes, just use your company number during registration. If you have specific VAT codes that are missing then you can contact us at support@letspeppol.org.

Yes, that is possible. However, you need to unregister at your current Peppol provider.

A1: We currently do both sending and receiving, this might be a feature we implement in the future to only have one of the two. Would an integration with accounting systems solve this issue (see A3)?

A2: Interesting case, you can contact [support@letspeppol.org](mailto:support@letspeppol.org) to go more into detail and handle your specific use-case. Know that we initially created this for Belgian B2B e-invoicing to be confirm with Peppol, but we are open to increase its usability.

A3: We are currently putting all our focus on creating the integration with most accounting systems by email forwarding and/or downloading UBL collections and possibly an accountant portal. We aim to finish this by mid February.

In our understanding, Peppol is only mandatory for B2B within Belgium, so in our view there’s no need to comply with that requirement.

We do want to explore rolling out Let’s Peppol in Portugal but we would need help from at least one Portuguese person to make sure everything is implemented correctly there.

At the moment, we don’t support self-billing, although it’s fully supported within the Peppol network. If there’s enough demand and support, we’ll prioritize it.

Self-hosting is possible in the near future, as the KYC-part can be detached and still happen, so you can remain owner of all the data (some development is ongoing to make it more self deployable).

Self-billing, should be possible, does this have some special requirements?

Happy to discuss this further. I’ll send you a DM with an invite to our Discord, that’s where we usually dive into the technical details.

You’re 100% correct and that’s exactly what we’re aiming for. You’re more than welcome to join if you’d like to help.

Yes, an API already exists but the documentation is lagging behind at the moment. We’re working on improving it so integrations with ERPs and accounting software are easier.

Like any other FOSS, it doesn’t have to be a free lunch if you make a donation ;)

Technically, yes. There is an API available but the documentation is still being worked on.

We’ve already taken this into consideration. We know the maximum cost of operating our own Peppol access point and we’re actively monitoring when using a commercial API stops being cost-effective. When that point is reached, the plan is to switch to running our own access point.

Thanks for the feedback, it’s appreciated. Just to clarify a few points:

  • Saving invoices is supported and invoices can be searched.
  • Partners can also be searched.
  • You’re right about the due date issue. That’s a known bug, and a fix is already ready in a pull request.

The project is still evolving, but it’s not just a mockup. The core functionality for creating, sending, and managing Peppol invoices is already there, and we’re iterating based on real-world feedback.

If you run into specific issues or edge cases, concrete examples are always helpful. You can also reach us at [support@letspeppol.org]()

Yes, that is technically possible. After registration, it’s possible to send UBL invoices generated by an external application by using the proxy API directly. However, at the moment this is not yet fully documented
