Facturra: France's 2026 e-invoicing mandate, turned into a 5-minute onboarding
Visit the live siteContext
From September 2026 every French business must be able to receive structured electronic invoices, with emission deadlines phased through 2027. The market answered with 'approved-platform' plumbing built for accountants — not for the millions of freelancers and small firms who just need to send a legal invoice.
The challenge
Build a product fully compliant with the DGFiP mandate and usable by a non-accountant in minutes — without locking users into a single approved platform or bundling accounting and CRM they don't want.
Approach
- Positioned Facturra as a Solution Compatible (Opérateur de Dématérialisation) connected to an approved Plateforme Agréée — invoices keep flowing even if a PA changes terms, with no lock-in.
- Designed onboarding that pulls company identity from FranceConnect Pro / SIRET, removing manual data entry.
- Built native Factur-X generation (PDF/A-3 with embedded EN 16931-compliant XML) and a live, type-as-you-go demo on the landing page so prospects feel the compliance before signing up.
- Added an AI copilot to pre-fill invoices and catch VAT errors before send.
What we built
- Next.js application with a native Factur-X engine
- FranceConnect Pro / SIRET onboarding
- Imports from Sage, EBP, Pennylane, QuickBooks and CSV
- Full invoice lifecycle tracking, API and webhooks
- Hosted in France (OVHcloud), GDPR-compliant
Outcome
- Onboarding measured in minutes — a first compliant invoice ships in the same session.
- Compliance experienced before signup, via the live landing-page demo.
- No platform lock-in: a compatible operator that survives PA changes.
