## Description

From 1 September 2026 every French VAT-registered business must be able to receive
electronic invoices, and from 1 September 2027 small and medium businesses must 
issue B2B invoices electronically and report B2C sales to the tax administration.

Factella prepares small WooCommerce shops for that mandate.

 * Adds optional SIRET and VAT number fields at checkout (block and classic checkout).
 * Validates SIREN, SIRET and French VAT numbers.
 * Numbers invoices and credit notes in one gap-free chronological sequence (PPF-
   compatible, max 20 characters).
 * Creates an invoice when an order is paid or completed, and a credit note for 
   every refund.
 * Generates a **Factur-X** file for each invoice and credit note: a PDF/A-3 with
   embedded EN 16931 CII XML, including the French mandatory mentions and the 2026
   national rules (BR-FR). Validated against the official FNFE-MPE validator.
 * Uses the exact WooCommerce VAT rate per line, and handles standard VAT, mixed
   rates, reduced rates, shipping and fees.
 * Covers the French exemption cases: _franchise en base_ (VATEX-FR-FRANCHISE), 
   intra-EU reverse charge (category K / VATEX-EU-IC) and export outside the EU (
   category G / VATEX-EU-G).
 * Branded, French, human-readable PDF with your logo and accent colour.
 * Attaches the PDF to the customer’s order emails and offers a download from the
   customer account.
 * Bulk generation and ZIP export for past orders, plus a `wp factella generate`
   WP-CLI command.
 * Exposes the invoice data (read-only) on the WooCommerce orders REST API.
 * Readiness check and a period report (B2B, B2C by VAT rate, refunds) with CSV 
   export.
 * Optional transmission of B2B / B2BInt invoices and credit notes to the **SUPER
   PDP** platform with your own SUPER PDP account (manual button or automatic, with
   status tracking). B2C sales are never transmitted — they belong to e-reporting.
 * Looks up the company name from a SIRET at checkout against the French public 
   business register.

Factella is an independent project and is not affiliated with or endorsed by WooCommerce,
Automattic or the French tax administration (DGFiP).

### External services

These connections are optional. No data is transmitted until you enter your own 
credentials and either click a send button or enable automatic sending.

**SUPER PDP (approved e-invoicing platform).** When you connect your own SUPER PDP
account and send an invoice (manually or automatically), Factella authenticates 
with SUPER PDP using OAuth2 (client_credentials) and transmits the document.
 * 
Data transmitted: your SUPER PDP client ID and client secret (for authentication),
and, for each sent document, the Factur-X PDF and its invoice data (seller and buyer
legal name, address, SIREN/SIRET, VAT number, line items and amounts), the invoice
number (as the external reference), and status/payment events. * When: only when
you click “Test connection”, “Send to SUPER PDP”, or have enabled automatic sending;
and periodically to read back the lifecycle status of documents already sent. * 
Endpoints: https://api.superpdp.tech/oauth2/token and https://api.superpdp.tech/
v1.beta/ * Terms of use: https://www.superpdp.tech/ — Documentation: https://www.
superpdp.tech/documentation

**Annuaire des Entreprises (recherche-entreprises.api.gouv.fr).** At checkout, when
a SIRET is entered, Factella asks this free public French government service for
the matching company’s legal name to help fill the company field.
 * Data transmitted:
the SIREN (the first 9 digits of the SIRET). No customer personal data is sent. *
When: only while a SIRET is being entered on the checkout; results are cached for
one day and the request is rate-limited. * Endpoint: https://recherche-entreprises.
api.gouv.fr/search * Terms: https://api.gouv.fr/les-api/api-recherche-entreprises—
the data is the open public business register (data.gouv.fr).

### Privacy

Factella does not send any data to its developer or to any Factella-operated server.
Invoice transmission goes from your site directly to **your own** SUPER PDP account;
the buyer’s invoice data (name, address, SIREN, amounts) is shared only with SUPER
PDP, under your account and your agreement with them. The company-name lookup sends
only a SIREN (public identifier) to a French government open-data service. All platform
credentials are stored encrypted in your own database.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin to `/wp-content/plugins/` and activate it.
 2. Go to WooCommerce > Settings > Factella and fill in your legal name, SIREN, VAT
    number, VAT regime and bank details.
 3. Place a test order and set it to the configured status; the invoice and its Factur-
    X PDF are created automatically.

## FAQ

### Does this send my invoices to the tax platform?

No. Factella generates compliant Factur-X files and lets you download and email 
them. Transmission to an approved platform is not included.

### Which invoice format is produced?

Factur-X (EN 16931 / “EN16931 Comfort” profile): a PDF/A-3 with the structured CII
XML embedded, which is the format required by the French reform.

   polled periodically; clear French error messages (invalid credentials, company
   not verified, invalid invoice, rate limit, platform unavailable).
 * New: SUPER PDP connection settings (sandbox / production, encrypted secret, “
   Test connection”), plus connection/verification/sandbox lines in the readiness
   check.
 * New: company-name auto-fill from a SIRET at checkout via the French public business
   register (cached, rate-limited, non-blocking).

   as invoice/credit-note lines; total reconciled to the order total via the rounding
   amount (BT-114); unit price with 4 decimals.
