# Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 with PHP

The European format for invoices sent through the Peppol network. Quittio creates the UBL; you reach the network through a provider.

[**Get started**](https://docs.quittio.dev/getting-started) [**Formats in the docs**](https://docs.quittio.dev/formats)

## What is Peppol?

Peppol is a European network for exchanging business documents. Invoices in it follow Peppol BIS Billing 3.0: UBL according to EN 16931 with additional Peppol rules and participant IDs.

### Who is it for?

- Invoices to authorities and businesses in countries with a Peppol mandate
- Recipients who receive invoices through an access point
- International B2B customers

## How it works with Quittio

InvoiceService.php

```
use Quittio\Core\Builder\Party;
use Quittio\Laravel\Facades\Quittio;

$result = Quittio::invoice()
    ->number('RE-2026-0042')
    ->deliveryDate('2026-09-30')
    ->buyer(Party::make('Kunde AG')
        ->vatId('DE987654321')
        ->address('Bahnhofstraße 5', '54321', 'Beispielstadt', 'DE'))
    ->line('Web development', netPrice: '95.00', quantity: 24)
    ->format('peppol')
    ->render();

## Questions about Peppol

### **Do I need an access point?**

To send through the Peppol network, yes. Quittio creates the valid file; a certified provider handles the transport.

### **Is Peppol mandatory in Germany?**

No. In Germany, ZUGFeRD or XRechnung are sufficient. Peppol is an additional channel used by some authorities and international customers.

When which invoice becomes mandatory is explained in our guide to the [German e-invoicing mandate](https://quittio.dev/en/e-invoicing-mandate-germany).
