France's reform is coming. No need to panic: we'll walk you through the essentials in 2 minutes, and why Pelli makes you compliant with no complicated paperwork.
E-invoicing is gradually replacing paper invoices and PDFs. Two dates to remember, and that's it.
All French businesses will need to be able to receive electronic invoices. That means being registered and connected to a platform.
Freelancers, micro-businesses and SMEs — the vast majority of photographers — will need to issue their invoices in electronic format, through an approved platform.
A true electronic invoice is a structured file (Factur-X format) that travels through an approved platform and stays traceable. Simply sending a plain PDF will no longer be enough.
No point waiting until the last minute: choosing a compatible platform today saves you all the stress.
The obligation to receive already applies to everyone. Better to be ready ahead of time than in a rush.
The law sets a fine of €15 per non-compliant invoice (up to €15,000 per year). Getting compliant costs far less.
With a compatible platform, all you have to do is enable the feature. No software to install, no complicated mandate to sign.
A solution designed in France, for French law — and already ready for the reform.
Today, Pelli is the only French platform built for photographers that's already compatible with e-invoicing.
Pelli is developed and hosted in France, in Brest. Your invoices meet the mandatory details and formats required by the French authorities.
Pelli relies on B2B Router, a partner platform registered for the reform. Your invoices automatically travel through the right channel.
No subscription to take out elsewhere, no mandate to sign with your accountant. Compliance is built into Pelli, starting with the Lite plan.
Galleries, quotes, contracts, payments and e-invoicing: you run your entire business from a single French platform.
Many photographers use foreign tools like Pixieset or Pic-Time for their galleries and invoicing. For French e-invoicing, that's not an option.
With Pelli, you use a French, compatible solution from the start — nothing to redo later.
