Selling B2B in the EU increasingly means issuing structured e-invoices. Which format applies depends on who receives the invoice: a public authority expects a different one than a business customer, and each country adds its own rules on top. Rather than rebuilding your processes or routing invoice data through an external service, you can add this extension and settle the topic inside Magento: every invoice and credit memo becomes an EN 16931-compliant e-invoice in the Factur-X / ZUGFeRD or XRechnung 3.0 format, with no manual rework, right inside your usual invoice and e-mail workflow.
Everything runs on your own server. Invoice and customer data never leave your shop.
