PDP Tradeshift: The trusted choice for compliance with France’s e-Invoicing Mandate

PDP Tradeshift: The trusted choice for compliance with France’s e-Invoicing Mandate

What’s the latest update from the French Government?

On October 15th, the France’s fiscal and tax authority (the DGFIP) announced that the Public Invoicing Portal, PPF, will no longer handle direct exchanges of invoices between businesses, 

The recent updates to France’s e-Invoicing mandate require businesses engaged in B2B invoicing to use a registered Partner Dematerialization Platform (PDP) for submitting and delivering invoices.

Tradeshift was one of the first organisations to be granted PDP registered status by the French government. 

We are uniquely positioned to help businesses make a smooth transition while seeing benefits that extend far beyond compliance. 

Our advanced e-Invoicing capabilities and end-to-end automation services offer an integrated solution for both enterprises and midsize businesses, promoting compliance and enhancing digital transformation efforts in France and beyond.

1. A trusted, comprehensive PDP solution

Tradeshift is a registered PDP, providing a full suite of e-Invoicing services, from invoice clearance to integration with the DGFIP directory and ERP systems, ensuring a seamless transition for businesses of all sizes. 

With mandatory e-invoicing starting in September 2026, we are ready to assist large and medium enterprises in meeting these new requirements with a trusted, SECNUM-certified platform that guarantees data security, interoperability, and compliance.

2. End-to-end Invoice lifecycle management

Our robust portfolio of services positions us as more than a compliance provider. We support the entire invoice lifecycle, including buyer-side coding, 2/3-way matching, alerts, and payment predictions. 

Our ability to handle cleared and non-clearance invoices, manage digital signatures, and transform invoices into Factur-X format sets us apart as a comprehensive PDP service provider that can handle domestic and international invoice requirements.

We recognise the challenges smaller businesses face in adapting to new e-invoicing mandates. 

Tradeshift is committed to offering cost-effective, scalable solutions tailored to SMEs. 

By providing streamlined onboarding, multi-channel invoice support, and digital signature services, we aim to make compliance accessible and affordable for smaller businesses, effectively bridging the gap left by the discontinued PPF services.

Beyond compliance, our PDP services include value-added offerings like real-time payment predictions, integration with seller and buyer ERP systems, embedded financing, and fraud detection. 

This holistic approach helps businesses extract more value from their e-invoicing processes, making Tradeshift not simply a service provider but a partner in efficiency and innovation.

With the elimination of PPF’s role in direct invoice exchange, Tradeshift is positioned as a cornerstone of France’s digital ecosystem for e-invoicing.

We play a crucial role in supporting the French government’s efforts to streamline the invoicing process, reduce VAT fraud, and encourage businesses to adopt standardised, secure digital practices.

Through our strong PDP capabilities, we can help businesses navigate the transition smoothly while maintaining high compliance standards.
