The invoice portal is accessible at platform.econnect.eu. You create an account online and verify your organisation via iDEAL (or Wero). After that, you can immediately create and send e-invoices.
The portal provides a clear invoicing environment where you create invoices, send them and track their status. You can see straight away whether an invoice has been delivered, approved or cleared for payment. The platform automatically checks whether the recipient is registered on Peppol via a Peppol ID. If so, the invoice is sent via the secure Peppol network. If not, the customer receives an email with a PDF and XML attachment.

BeChappy is an AI agent for freelancers and small businesses, built on the eConnect infrastructure. BeChappy automates the processing of receipts, invoices and expense claims. Take a photo of your receipt or forward an invoice, and BeChappy takes care of the rest: recognition, categorisation and accounting.
BeChappy is the successor to the eScanner and uses the same IDR technology as the eConnect platform. The service is available as a standalone product and as an integration for accounting software. BeChappy is specifically designed for the smallest entrepreneurs who need a simple, automated administration solution.
The invoice portal is suitable for any organisation that wants to send e-invoices. It is particularly popular with freelancers, small businesses without e-invoicing software, entrepreneurs who want to get started with Peppol quickly, and suppliers of organisations that require e-invoicing. As your business grows and you want to send invoices from your own accounting software, you can switch to a software integration while keeping your Peppol registration and sending history.

Yes, creating an account and sending e-invoices manually via the invoice portal is free. There are no contract fees, subscription fees or minimum purchase obligations, and no credit required. The portal is designed to make the threshold for e-invoicing as low as possible, so that every entrepreneur has access to secure invoicing via Peppol.
There are no hidden costs and no lock-in. You can leave the portal at any time and take your Peppol registration with you to a software integration or API connection. More than 20,000 organisations across Europe already use the eConnect platform. The invoice portal is not a trial version — it is a fully-fledged product you can use for as long as you want. As your invoicing volume grows, you can easily upgrade to a higher subscription for additional features such as incoming invoice processing and software integrations.
When creating an account, you verify your organisation via an iDEAL payment (or Wero) of € 0.01. This amount is refunded immediately. The verification serves to confirm that you are actually authorised to act on behalf of the organisation: the iDEAL process checks your bank details against the Chamber of Commerce registration, ensuring that only authorised persons can create a Peppol address.
After verification, your Peppol registration is created automatically. This means your organisation receives its own e-invoicing address on the Peppol network, allowing other organisations to find you and send e-invoices. The entire process typically takes less than fifteen minutes. If you do not have a Dutch bank account, eConnect also offers manual verification. Once your organisation is active, you can immediately create, send and receive invoices.
Yes, the invoice portal is an excellent starting point. If your organisation grows and you want to send invoices from your own accounting software, you can switch to a software integration without losing your Peppol registration. Your existing e-invoicing address, sending history and customer data remain available.
eConnect offers integrations with more than 100 software packages, including Xero, Sage, QuickBooks, Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central and many ERP systems. The switch is guided by the eConnect team and is typically completed within a day. After the integration, invoices you create in your accounting software are sent automatically via Peppol. Incoming e-invoices appear directly in your software, including automatic matching. This way you benefit from the same Peppol infrastructure, fully automated from your familiar software environment.
The invoice portal sends e-invoices via the Peppol network in accordance with the Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 standard. This is the European standard for e-invoicing, based on EN 16931 and UBL 2.1. Your invoices therefore automatically comply with the requirements for cross-border e-invoicing within the EU and with the e-invoicing mandates being introduced by EU member states under the ViDA initiative.
The platform automatically checks whether the recipient is registered on Peppol. If so, the invoice is sent via the secure Peppol network. If not, your customer receives an email with the invoice as a PDF and XML attachment. You do not need to concern yourself with technical formats: the portal automatically generates the correct message type. In addition to standard invoices, the platform also supports credit notes. The invoice portal is therefore suitable for both domestic and cross-border e-invoicing within the Peppol network.
The Invoice Portal is optimised for smaller organisations and has standard limits of 2 users and 2 organisations per environment. This keeps the product deliberately compact and easy to manage. If you want to manage more users or organisations, upgrading to a higher subscription level is the appropriate route.
