Approved French e-invoicing platforms
Every platform registered by the French tax authority (DGFiP) to transmit and receive electronic invoices. These are Plateformes Agréées (PA) — the term that replaced "PDP". Your French customer must use one of these to receive invoices from 1 September 2026.

How to read this table
DGFiP status. "Registered (provisional)" means the platform holds provisional registration — immatriculée sous réserve — pending completion of interoperability testing. This is the normal state for most platforms in 2026 and does not mean the platform is unusable. "Awaiting interoperability tests" means testing is still outstanding.
Formats. Factur-X is the French hybrid PDF/XML format; UBL and CII are the two XML syntaxes permitted by the European standard EN 16931; Peppol BIS is the cross-border profile used on the Peppol network. If you already issue Peppol BIS or UBL for other European customers, check whether your customer's platform accepts it before building anything French-specific.
What this table does not tell you. It does not say which platform a given company uses. Only the official directory can tell you that — start from the company checker to get the SIREN you need.
