For invoices sent to French public administrations, use Chorus Pro instead.
Reform timeline
France is introducing its e-invoicing requirements in two phases. All companies established in France must be able to receive electronic invoices from the first phase, while the obligation to issue them depends on company size.If your company generates less than €50M in annual revenue, the issuing and
e-reporting requirements apply from September 2027. You must still be able to
receive e-invoices from September 2026.

Customer routing
Default electronic address
Hyperline builds the customer’s default electronic address with scheme0225 and their SIREN. It resolves the SIREN in this order:
- Registration number: Hyperline uses a 9-digit SIREN directly or extracts the first 9 digits from a 14-digit SIRET.
- Tax ID: if the registration number is missing or invalid, Hyperline extracts the SIREN from the customer’s French tax ID.
Example 💡
A customer has the SIRET
12345678900015. Hyperline uses the first nine
digits as its SIREN and routes the invoice to 0225:123456789.Override the electronic address
If the customer uses an electronic address different from their SIREN, you can override the inferred value:- Open the customer details page.
- Click Edit in the Information section.
- Enter the address provided by the customer or their PA in Electronic address.
- Save the customer.
