Compliant EU e-invoices for every B2B order.
Missivo is a Shopify app for EU B2B e-invoicing. When a B2B order is paid, it verifies the buyer’s VAT number against VIES, generates the e-invoice format the sale requires, and can deliver it over the Peppol network.
You do nothing. Invoices simply appear in your dashboard with their verification and delivery status, ready to download as PDF or XML.
How it works
Three steps, none of them yours.
Missivo sits between a paid Shopify order and the invoice the rules require you to issue.
- 01
A B2B order is paid
Missivo watches your store for paid orders that carry a company name or a VAT number. Nothing changes on your storefront, your theme, or your checkout.
- 02
VAT verified, invoice generated
The buyer's VAT number is checked against VIES, the EU's official registry — the evidence behind 0% reverse-charge invoicing. Missivo then builds the e-invoice in the format that sale requires.
- 03
Delivered or downloaded
Send the invoice over the Peppol network through a certified access point, or download the PDF and XML from your dashboard. Either way the status is recorded against the order.
What you get
Everything cross-border invoicing actually demands.
The unglamorous parts of EU e-invoicing — verification, formats, transport, archive — handled once and then forgotten about.
VIES VAT verification
Every B2B buyer's VAT number is checked against the European Commission's VIES registry, and the result is stored with the invoice as reverse-charge evidence.
Country-correct formats
Factur-X, XRechnung, ZUGFeRD and UBL 2.1 / Peppol BIS Billing 3.0. The format follows from where you and your buyer are, not left to you.
Peppol e-delivery
Invoices can be transmitted electronically over the Peppol network via a certified access point, straight into the buyer's finance system.
Zero-touch automation
The whole thing is triggered by the order-paid event. No manual exports, no spreadsheets, no invoicing ritual at the end of the month.
Built on EN 16931
Documents follow the European semantic standard for electronic invoicing that every national format is built on top of.
Invoice archive
Every invoice stays in your dashboard with its verification and delivery status, downloadable as PDF or XML whenever you or your accountant need it.

FAQ
Questions worth asking first.
Do I need to change my theme or checkout?
No. Missivo works entirely from the Shopify admin side — no storefront changes and no theme edits. You install it, fill in your company’s invoicing details once, and it starts picking up paid B2B orders.
What is VIES verification?
VIES is the European Commission’s VAT Information Exchange System — the official registry used to confirm that a VAT number is valid and registered for cross-border trade in the EU.
If you invoice another EU business at 0% under the reverse-charge rules, you are expected to be able to show that you checked. Missivo runs that check for each B2B order and keeps the result alongside the invoice.
What formats are generated?
Factur-X 1.x, XRechnung, ZUGFeRD and UBL 2.1 / Peppol BIS Billing 3.0 — all built on the same EU standard, EN 16931. Missivo picks the one that fits from where you and your buyer are, so the same order data produces the document each destination expects.
What is Peppol?
Peppol is the European network businesses and public bodies use to exchange e-invoices. Instead of emailing a PDF that someone has to retype, the invoice travels between certified access points and lands directly in the recipient’s finance system. Missivo can send your invoices over Peppol through a certified access point.
What do I need for Peppol delivery?
We switch Peppol delivery on for your store during onboarding — email support@missivo.app. The order also needs the buyer’s Peppol ID, which Shopify doesn’t collect by default, so you capture it at checkout. Without both, invoices are still generated in full — just downloaded and sent by you.
I sell in France — what about the PDP requirement?
France regulates how the invoice travels, not just what it contains, so invoices go through a certified platform — a PDP. Missivo is not one and is not trying to replace it: it produces the Factur-X file your platform accepts, which you submit through it.
Which orders get invoices?
The ones with a company name on the billing address, or a VAT number captured at checkout. Orders with neither are treated as consumer orders and left alone.
