What is the Peppol Directory? How Does It Work?

  • What is the Peppol Directory?
    The Peppol Directory is a centralized digital registry that enables businesses to connect securely through the Peppol network, facilitating cross-border electronic transactions like e-invoicing and e-ordering while ensuring interoperability and compliance with global data standards.

  • How It Works
    Businesses register with a certified Peppol Access Point, receive a unique Peppol ID, and become discoverable in the Directory. This enables secure electronic document exchange across systems using standardized formats, improving communication efficiency across borders.

  • Directory Entry Details
    Each entry includes the business name, Peppol ID, Access Point provider details, services offered (like e-invoicing), and contact information. This ensures transparency and facilitates trusted connections between companies operating within the Peppol ecosystem.

  • Benefits of Being Listed
    Directory listing offers global visibility, reduces manual processing, ensures regulatory compliance, saves costs on paper-based transactions, and enables secure document exchange, helping businesses stay competitive in markets mandating electronic invoicing.

  • Security and Data Protection
    Peppol uses encryption, digital certificates, and strict validation protocols to ensure secure data transmission. Certified Access Points enforce compliance with regional laws and standards like GDPR, protecting sensitive business information within the network.

  • Choosing or Removing Access
    Companies should choose Peppol-certified Access Points offering strong encryption, ERP integration, local compliance expertise, and reliable support. Businesses may opt out via their Access Point, but doing so ends participation in Peppol’s secure network.
