External Services
This plugin connects to the following external services when the PDP transmission feature is enabled (Business plan, not yet active):
Chorus Pro (PPF)
The plugin can transmit electronic invoices to the French government’s e-invoicing platform (Portail Public de Facturation). This connection is used to send Factur-X invoices and check transmission status. No data is sent unless the user explicitly configures and enables the Chorus Pro connector in the plugin settings.
- Service: Chorus Pro
- Terms of use: https://communaute.chorus-pro.gouv.fr/mentions-legales/
- Privacy policy: https://communaute.chorus-pro.gouv.fr/politique-de-confidentialite/
Note: The PDP transmission feature is currently a scaffold and does not transmit any data. The connector will be activated when the Chorus Pro B2B API is finalized by the AIFE.

FAQ
-
Is this plugin ready for the French e-invoicing mandate (réforme de la facturation électronique) ?
-
Yes! This plugin generates invoices in all three formats accepted by the reform: Factur-X, CII, and UBL. It includes all mandatory French legal mentions (SIRET, VAT, penalties, recovery indemnity).
Note: the current version handles invoice generation. Transmission to the PPF (Portail Public de Facturation) or PDP (Plateforme de Dématérialisation Partenaire) will be added in a future update when APIs are finalized.
-
What is Factur-X?
-
Factur-X is a Franco-German electronic invoice standard. It’s a hybrid format: a PDF/A-3 document (human-readable) with an embedded XML file (machine-readable). It’s based on the European standard EN 16931 and the UN/CEFACT CII data model.
-
Which Factur-X profile is used?
-
The free version uses the Basic profile, which includes full line item details. The Pro version supports the EN 16931 (Comfort) profile for full European standard compliance.
-
Does it work with WooCommerce HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage)?
-
Yes, the plugin is fully compatible with HPOS and declares compatibility with WooCommerce’s custom order tables.
-
Can I generate invoices for past orders?
-
Yes! Use the bulk action “Generate Factur-X Invoices” in the orders list, or use the retroactive generation feature in the dashboard.
-
Does the plugin validate the generated Factur-X files?
-
The XML is validated against the XSD schema during generation. For full PDF/A-3 validation, we recommend testing with the FNFE-MPE validator.
-
Mon WooCommerce est-il conforme à la réforme 2026 de la facturation électronique ?
-
Avec ce plugin, vos factures seront générées au format Factur-X conforme. Pour la conformité complète (transmission PPF/PDP), une mise à jour future ajoutera cette fonctionnalité.
-
Comment générer une facture Factur-X avec WooCommerce ?
-
Installez ce plugin, configurez vos informations entreprise dans WooCommerce > Réglages > Factur-X, et les factures seront générées automatiquement à chaque commande.
