A Plateforme Agréée (PA) transmits electronic invoices between French companies and reports the required invoice data to the French administration. Hyperline supports PA transmission for domestic B2B invoices in Factur-X format.
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.

​
Choose your PA connection

You can transmit French e-invoices from Hyperline using one of two connections.

​
Hyperline

Select Hyperline to send domestic B2B invoices through Hyperline’s connection, powered by Invopop’s accredited platform. Your invoicing entity must be registered before invoices can be exchanged. You can follow the registration status from Settings > Invoicing.

​
Pennylane

Select Pennylane if your company uses Pennylane as its PA. Your invoicing entity must be connected to Pennylane in Hyperline, and Pennylane must be registered as the PA for your company. If Pennylane is disconnected or does not have the required permissions, reconnect it before selecting this option.

​
Configure France PA

  1. Go to Settings > Invoicing.
  2. Select the relevant French invoicing entity.
  3. In French e-invoicing, select Hyperline or Pennylane for business e-invoicing (B2B).
  4. Complete the registration or reconnection requested for the selected provider.
  5. Click Save changes.
Once the connection is ready, Hyperline automatically transmits eligible domestic B2B invoices through the selected PA and displays their transmission status on the invoice details page.

​
Customer routing

​
Default routing address

Hyperline builds the customer’s default routing address with scheme 0225 and their SIREN. It resolves the SIREN in this order:
  1. Registration number: Hyperline uses a 9-digit SIREN directly or extracts the first 9 digits from a 14-digit SIRET.
  2. 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 routing address

If the customer uses a routing address different from their SIREN, you can override the inferred value:
  1. Open the customer details page.
  2. Click Edit in the Information section.
  3. Enter the address provided by the customer or their PA in Routing address.
  4. Save the customer.
The value in Routing address replaces the SIREN that Hyperline would otherwise infer for France PA routing. France PA expects a routing address rather than a generic e-invoicing code, which is why the field is labelled accordingly when France PA is enabled on the invoicing entity.
If the same customer is marked Government affiliated and the invoicing entity also has Chorus Pro enabled, the field is instead labelled Service code and is used for Chorus Pro routing rather than France PA.
